QUALITY OF SERVICE IN MULTI-TENANT NETWORK

摘要

A data handling system network includes a data handling system that is communicatively coupled to a switch by a network. The data handling system includes one or more logical partitions. Each logical partition includes a plurality of virtual switches and a plurality of virtual network interface cards. Each virtual network interface card is associated with a particular virtual switch and includes a plurality of QoS queues. The switch includes one or more switch partitions. Each switch partition includes a plurality of QoS queues that are associated with the QoS queues of the virtual network interface card. A packet is received with the virtual switch and the virtual switch sets and associates a QoS priority flag with the received packet. The virtual switch forwards the packet to a QoS queue comprised within the virtual network interface card based upon the QoS priority flag.
