Abstract
Network utilization of an arbitrary application is controlled by tracking network usage statistics of virtual machines (VMs), including at least VMs hosting parts of the application. For network utilization control, VMs serve as network proxies for elements of the application. A specification for a network requirement of the application is evaluated against the network usage statistics. When a network capacity requirement to/from/through an element of the application is not satisfied, one or more VMs are adapted to satisfy the requirement. For example, a VM may be migrated from a host or network location that has excess network bandwidth. Or, for example, network bandwidth availability for an under-requirement VM may be increased and bandwidth availability for a VM at an appropriate host or network location may be decreased. Thus, application-level communication path requirements may be satisfied using VM adaptations.
