Network Virtualization and Resource Control Task Map

The following table describes tasks for configuring a virtual network and implementing resource controls on the network.

Task
Description
For Instructions
Design and plan a virtual network on a single host
Consolidate network services and applications offered by the local network onto a single host.

This scenario is especially useful for consolidators and service providers.

Design and plan for a private virtual network on a single host
Run a virtual network that does not allow public access.

This scenario is recommended for system administrators who need to run a development environment.

Provide bandwidth management and resource control for systems on a per-interface basis.
Isolate, prioritize, and assign a specific amount of interface bandwidth for packet traffic.

This scenario is useful for systems that handle heavy traffic for particular services, such as a web service or a database server.

Provide bandwidth management and resource control for a virtual network
Create a scenario to isolate, control, and prioritize traffic for particular applications on the individual containers of the virtual network.

This scenario is particularly useful for service providers who bill customers for usage of particular application or who rent out containers to customers.
