Abstract:
An apparatus and method for managing a flow in a server virtualization environment, and a method of applying a QoS policy, the method including a flow processing unit configured to analyze a flow generated by a virtual machine (VM) to extract flow information, determine whether the flow is a new flow by comparing the extracted flow information with preset flow information, and apply a corresponding Quality of Service (QoS) policy to the flow, and a QoS management unit configured to, in a case in which the flow is a new flow, generate a QoS policy for the analyzed flow based on the extracted flow information and prestored virtual machine information, and transmit the generated QoS policy to the flow processing unit.
Abstract:
Provided are a method, apparatus, and system for providing a multi-tenant cloud service, which can guarantee quality of service (QOS) in units of flows and virtual machines (VMs). A dynamic virtual flow switch includes a switch flow agent configured to receive and store virtual machine QOS information about each of a plurality of virtual machines operating in a plurality of computer servers and flow QOS information about a flow generated by the virtual machine from a virtual flow controller and a flow processing unit configured to receive the flow generated by the virtual machine and determine a QOS priority of the flow based on the stored virtual machine QOS information of the virtual machine and flow QOS information of the flow.
