Abstract
An apparatus for optimizing network traffic which includes a host computer having virtual machines (VMs); a monitoring module to collect network traffic data from the VMs; an analysis engine to receive the network traffic data from the monitoring module and to calculate metric values pertaining to the network traffic data; a pattern module to store network traffic patterns having metric values and to provide the network traffic patterns to the analysis engine, the analysis engine compares the calculated metric values to the network traffic pattern metric values and provides an output of a result of the compare of the calculated metric values to the network pattern metric values; and responsive to receipt of the output from the analysis engine, an optimization module processes the output and provides an optimization action to the VMs to improve the flow of the network traffic between the VMs.
