Open Solaris Network Virtualization And Resource Control

OpenSolaris network virtualization and resource control is a set of OpenSolaris features, currently under development by Sun Microsystems as an open source project. OpenSolaris provides an internal network virtualization and quality of service scenario, implemented through the features of the OpenSolaris Crossbow umbrella project.

Major features of the Crossbow project include:

  • Virtual NIC (VNIC) pseudo-network interface technology
  • Exclusive IP zones
  • Bandwidth management and flow control on a per interface and per VNIC basis

Famous quotes containing the words open, network, resource and/or control:

    Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.
    Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)

    A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.
    Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)

    No, Ernest, don’t talk about action.... It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Culture means control over nature.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
