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:

    I think, for the rest of my life, I shall refrain from looking up things. It is the most ravenous time-snatcher I know. You pull one book from the shelf, which carries a hint or a reference that sends you posthaste to another book, and that to successive others. It is incredible, the number of books you hopefully open and disappointedly close, only to take down another with the same result.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    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)

    Grown-up people do very little and say a great deal.... Toddlers say very little and do a great deal.... With a toddler you cannot explain, you have to show. You cannot send, you have to take. You cannot control with words, you have to use your body.
    Penelope Leach (20th century)
