Open vSwitch等虚拟交换机已成为当今数据中心的重要组成部分。它们连接虚拟机的接口，并通过网络接口卡提供到物理网络的上行链路。我们将讨论涉及物理和虚拟网络接口的虚拟交换机的使用场景。我们提出了广泛的黑盒测试来量化软件交换机的吞吐量和延迟，重点是市场领导者Open vSwitch。最后，我们使用白盒测量解释观察到的效果。
Virtual switches, like Open vSwitch, have emerged as an important part of today’s data centers. They connect interfaces of virtual machines and provide an uplink to the physical network via network interface cards. We discuss usage scenarios for virtual switches involving physical and virtual network interfaces. We present extensive black-box tests to quantify the throughput and latency of software switches with emphasis on the market leader, Open vSwitch. Finally, we explain the observed effects using white-box measurements.
