The xen sexpr config format has long supported specifying vif rate
limiting, e.g.
(device
(vif
(mac '00:16:3e:1b:b1:47')
(rate '10240KB/s')
...
)
)
Add support for mapping rate to and from <bandwidth> in the xenconfig
sexpr parser and formatter. rate is mapped to the required 'average'
attribute of the <outbound> element, e.g.
<interface type='bridge'>
...
<bandwidth>
<outbound average='10240'/>
</bandwidth>
</interface>
Also add unit tests to check the conversion logic.
This patch benefits both the old xen driver and the libxl driver.
Both drivers gain support for vif bandwidth when converting to/from
domXML and xen-sxpr. In addition, the old xen driver will now be
able to handle vif 'rate' setting when communicating with xend.
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.
