Abstract

This demo presents a testbed for computer networking education. It leverages hardware virtualization to accommodate 6 PCs and 2 routers on a single testbed host to reduce costs, energy consumption, space requirements, and heat emission. The testbed excels by providing dedicated physical Ethernet and USB interfaces for virtual machines so that students can interconnect them with cables and switches like in a non-virtualized testbed

SIGITE '14: Proceedings of the 15th Annual Conference on Information technology education

Many computer science curricula include practical courses to undergraduate and graduate students to offer them hands-on networking experience by connecting PCs, switches, and routers in a testbed. Such testbeds are expensive, bulky, energy-intensive, ...

Live gang migration of virtual machines
HPDC '11: Proceedings of the 20th international symposium on High performance distributed computing

This paper addresses the problem of simultaneously migrating a group of co-located and live virtual machines (VMs), i.e, VMs executing on the same physical machine. We refer to such a mass simultaneous migration of active VMs as "live gang migration". ...
