Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055484 Currently, libvirt's XML schema of network allows QoS to be defined for every network even though it has no bridge. For instance: <network> <name>vdsm-no-bridge</name> <forward mode='passthrough'> <interface dev='em1.10'/> </forward> <bandwidth> <inbound average='1000' peak='5000' burst='1024'/> <outbound average='1000' burst='1024'/> </bandwidth> </network> The bandwidth limitations can be, however, applied even on such networks. In fact, they are going to be applied on the interface that will be connected to the network on a domain startup. This approach, however, has one limitation. With bridged networks, there are two points where QoS can be set: bridge and domain interface. The lower limit of the two is enforced then. For instance, if the interface has 10Mbps average, but the network only 1Mbps, there's no way for interface to transmit packets faster than the 1Mbps limit. With two points this is enforced by kernel. With only one point, we must combine both QoS settings into one which is set afterwards. Look at virNetDevBandwidthMinimal() and you'll understand immediately what I mean. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> |

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
