Abstract

A method comprises observing communication through a virtualized interface between at least one virtual machine (VM) and a driver domain. Based on the observed communication through the virtualized interface, a weighted amount of communication between the VM and the driver domain is determined for each of the VM(s), wherein the weighted amount is based at least in part on at least one characteristic of the observed communication, such as directional flow and/or size of packets in the communication. Another method comprises evaluating CPU utilization of a target network driver domain in processing communications having different characteristics, and deriving corresponding weighting for the different communication characteristics. The derived weighting for the different communication characteristics are employed within a communication monitor that observes communication between virtual machines and the target network driver domain.
