Network Bandwidth Control in Virtualized Environments

Date: 11:35am, Wednesday, September 29th
Location: Quarante 4
Topic: Virtualization
Presentation: {Slides}

When sharing resources in a virtualised environment various issues of fairness arise. One such resource is network bandwidth and, in particular, ensuring that guests get some share of the available bandwidth, regardless of the network utilisation of other guests on the same host. Focusing on a Xen/Linux host environment, this presentation will examine problems that can arise and what methods exist to counter those problems. This presentation is targeted at both system administrators and developers. It is aimed specifically at people with an understanding of configuring networking on Linux systems and an interest in implementation details.

Simon enjoys working on network-related projects, as he believes the way that this brings people together is really interesting. He also have an interest in high-availability and have worked on and off in that area for many years. More recently the main focus of his work has been on Linux Kernel and virtualisation using the Xen hypervisor. Primarily in the areas of crash dump analysis and PCI virtualization.
