LEARNING INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH SHAPING RESOURCES AND VIRTUAL MACHINES OF A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A source network device of a cloud computing network receives a packet destined for a destination virtual machine provided in a destination cloud computing device. The packet is received from a source virtual machine provided in a source cloud computing device. The source network device associates, to the packet, a source shaping resource of the source network device, where the source shaping resource includes a bandwidth that matches or exceeds a bandwidth associated with the source virtual machine. The source network device adds, to the packet, a header that identifies an address of the source virtual machine, an identifier associated with the source shaping resource, and the bandwidth associated with the source virtual machine. The source network device provides, via the source shaping resource, the packet and the header to the cloud computing network for transmission to the destination virtual machine.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a source network device of a cloud computing network, a packet destined for a destination virtual machine provided in a destination cloud computing device,
the packet being received from a source virtual machine provided in a source cloud computing device; associating, by the source network device and with the packet, a source shaping resource of the source network device,
the source shaping resource including a bandwidth that matches or exceeds a bandwidth associated with the source virtual machine; adding, by the source network device and to the packet, a header that identifies:
an address of the source virtual machine,an identifier associated with the source shaping resource, andthe bandwidth associated with the source virtual machine; and providing, by the source network device and via the source shaping resource, the packet and the header to the cloud computing network for transmission to the destination virtual machine.
