A METHOD TO OPTIMIZE PATH MANAGEMENT IN VIRTUAL MACHINE ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method to optimize path management in virtual machine environment having source virtual machine, destination virtual machine, virtual router, and MPLS enabled router, the method comprising: determining route between source and destination which is a path; selecting maximum transmission unit (MTU) path having smallest size for path between source and destination; creating route based on round trip time (RTT), size of MTU, and number of hops that form smart path profiling; constructing at least one packet from virtual machine environment and pushing the at least one packet through smart path profiling; and identifying path based on smart path profiling by virtual router and pushing the at least one packet to MPLS enabled router, wherein if MTU path having smallest size cannot be achieved, repeating steps of creating route based on RTT, size of MTU, and number of hops, if the smallest size cannot be achieved, restarting the path.
