Open vSwitch等虚拟交换机已成为云网络架构的重要组成部分。它们连接虚拟机的接口，并通过物理网络接口卡建立到外部网络的连接。如今，所有重要的云框架都支持Open vSwitch作为默认虚拟交换机。但是，人们对Open vSwitch在不同使用场景中的性能影响缺乏一般性的了解。在这项工作中，我们提供的性能特性的见解，系统地进行测量，在虚拟交换设置。我们提供了Open vSwitch在涉及物理和虚拟网络接口的场景中的定量和定性性能结果。
Virtual switches, like Open vSwitch, have emerged as an important part of cloud networking architectures. They connect interfaces of virtual machines and establish the connection to the outer network via physical network interface cards. Today, all important cloud frameworks support Open vSwitch as the default virtual switch. However, general understanding about the performance implications of Open vSwitch in different usage scenarios is missing. In this work we provide insights into the performance properties by systematically conducting measurements in virtual switching setups. We present quantitative and qualitative performance results of Open vSwitch in scenarios involving physical and virtual network interfaces.
