Evaluating Xen, VMware, and OpenVZ Virtualization Platforms for Network Virtualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network virtualization is a technique that allows having multiple concurrent isolated networks sharing physical network resources. This work analyzes the main available virtualization platforms, Xen, OpenVZ, and VMware, for network virtualization. We compare their virtualization techniques, achieved performance in virtualizing computational resources and appropriateness for usage in a virtual network environment. To achieve our goal, we conduct experiments to evaluate overhead introduced by the virtualization platforms in comparison to a non-virtualized environment.

Performance Comparison of Hardware Virtualization Platforms
Hosting virtual servers on a shared physical hardware by means of hardware virtualization is common use at data centers, web hosters, and research facilities. All platforms include isolation techniques that restrict resource consumption of the virtual guest machines. However, these isolation techniques have an impact on the performance of the guest systems. In this paper, we study how popular h...
متن کاملVirtual Network Performance Evaluation for Future Internet Architectures
Internet Service Providers resist innovating in the network core, fearing that deploying a new protocol or service compromises the network operation and their profit, as a consequence. Therefore, a new Internet model, called Future Internet, which enables core innovation, must accommodate new protocols and services with the current scenario, isolating each protocol stack from others. Virtualiza...

متن کاملPerformance Isolation of a Misbehaving Virtual Machine with Xen, VMware and Solaris Containers
In recent years, there have been a number of papers comparing the performance of different virtualization environments for x86 such as Xen, VMware and UML. These comparisons have focused on quantifying the overhead of virtualization for one VM compared to a base OS. In addition, researchers have examined the performance degradation experienced when multiple VMs are running the same workload. Th...
