Benchmarking Methodology for Virtualization Network Performance
draft-huang-bmwg-virtual-network-performance-03
Abstract
As the virtual network has been widely established in IDC, the
performance of virtual network has become a valuable consideration to
the IDC managers. This draft introduces a benchmarking methodology
for virtualization network performance based on virtual switch.
