Network Bandwidth Control in Virtualized Environments

Date: 3:00pm, Wednesday, August 11th
Location: Caspian
Topic: Virtualization
Presentation: Download 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 Horman, VA Linux Systems Japan K.K.

Simon works in the Enterprise Operating Systems Unit at VA Linux Systems Japan K.K. and works on network-related projects, as he think 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 Simon's work has been on Linux Kernel and virtualization using the Xen hypervisor. Particularly in the areas of crash dump analysis, PCI virtualisation and various aspects of networking.
