Abstract

A software switch and a method performed by the software switch are disclosed. The software switch receives, from a node deploying a virtual machine, a request for a virtual port to be polled by the virtual machine. The request includes a Central Processing Unit 'CPU' identity identifying a CPU on which the virtual machine executes. The request includes an indication of a clock frequency at which the CPU is set to operate. The software switch determines a number of packets in a queue associated with the virtual port. The software switch adjusts the clock frequency of the CPU based on the number of packets in the queue. A corresponding computer program and a computer program carrier are also disclosed.
