Zusammenfassung:	Method for operating an electronic network having a hardware layer and requiring network functions, involves virtualizing networking functions to virtual machines; using an addressing overlay above the hardware layer providing identities to the virtual machines and other network entities, the virtual machines being likely to move around different hardware components over the network, and the identities moving with the virtual machines; directing data flows around the network via the virtual machines using software defined flow mapping, the flows being directed among the virtual machines using the moving identities. The identities are mapped to the hardware locations of the virtual machines and the mapping is updated upon moving of the machine.
