Abstract
Traffic in a cloud is controlled by the nodes participating in the cloud. Tenants of the cloud each have a ratio. On any given node, a current transmission rate of the node is allocated among the tenants of the node, or more specifically, their execution units (e.g., virtual machines) on the node. Thus each tenant receives a predefined portion of the transmission capacity of the node. The transmission capacity can vary as conditions on the network change. For example, if congestion occurs, the transmission capacity may be decreased. Nonetheless, each tenant receives, according to its ratio, a same relative portion of the overall transmission capacity.
