If user or management application wants to create a guest, it may be useful to know the cost of internode latencies before the guest resources are pinned. For example: <capabilities> <host> ... <topology> <cells num='2'> <cell id='0'> <memory unit='KiB'>4004132</memory> <distances> <sibling id='0' value='10'/> <sibling id='1' value='20'/> </distances> <cpus num='2'> <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0'/> <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='2'/> </cpus> </cell> <cell id='1'> <memory unit='KiB'>4030064</memory> <distances> <sibling id='0' value='20'/> <sibling id='1' value='10'/> </distances> <cpus num='2'> <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='1'/> <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='3'/> </cpus> </cell> </cells> </topology> ... </host> ... </capabilities> We can see the distance from node1 to node0 is 20 and within nodes 10.

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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
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.
