Hi, Is there a way to control the network bandwidth used by a virtual machine in Xen? I remember seeing some related features in unstable branches, but I haven''t been following recently. The XenEnterprise version seems to have this. ==>From http://www.xensource.com/PRODUCTS/Pages/XenEnterprise.aspx To guarantee that compute power is directed to the most essential workloads that require them, Citrix XenServer Enterprise Edition allows administrators to set quality-of-service (QoS) priorities and levels for CPU utilization as well as disk and network bandwidth. == Does the open source version have this as well? If yes, can I set the bandwidth using xm? Thanks, Pradeep _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

For other or more advanced QoS configurations you might have to fall back on Linux kernel capabilities like queuing disciplines etc. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
