Humm, first generation unix partitioning from IBM, or 5th generation partitioning from Sun
IBM has been doing LPARs and Virtual Machines a long, long time on mainframes. According to this article, IBM started studying logical partitioning in 1976. I think Sun qualifies as the newcomer if you are just talking about partitioning technology.
> Humans set up a Label Switched Path (LSP) beteween several routers.
Humans don't even have to setup the LSPs. Signalling protocols such as RSVP-TE or CR-LDP can be used to do the setup automagically based on the IGP path or using constraint-based criteria such as reserved bandwidth, desired latency/jitter characteristics, etc.

See Linux on the IBM ESA/390 Mainframe Architecture for info on running Linux on S/390 LPARs
