Abstract:
1. An apparatus for controlling a resource utilization policy in a virtual environment, the apparatus comprising: a decision-making unit configured to decide to dynamically adjust the resource utilization policies of a driver domain that directly accesses a shared device and a guest domain that does not directly access the shared device; a policy management unit configured to dynamically adjust the resource utilization policies of the driver domain and the guest domain based on the decision made by the decision-making unit such that a number of packets transmitted by the guest domain and a number of packets received by the driver domain, during a predetermined interval, each satisfy a predetermined threshold, and configured to limit the number of times the driver domain and the guest domain are switched between foreground and background such that it satisfies the resource utilization policies of the driver domain and the guest domain; and a storage device configured to store at least one of the driver domain and the guest domain.
