PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF VIRTUAL ROUTERS IN PARAVIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT Group Members: Abhishek Bajaj: MT Anargha Biswas: MT Ambarish Kumar: MT Deepak Porwal: MT Kirti Wadehra: MT

WORK DONE  Successful installation of the guest OS’s working on Xen, acting as a para virtual environment.  Configuration of the Host OS into a router and setting up of a virtual network.  Establishment of communication between two different networks within the virtual environment  Performance evaluation using IPERF,JPERF

SYSTEM SETUP

ROUTER CONFIGURATION Steps for configuring Host OS(OpenSuse 11.1) into Router: 1)Disable the bridged(default) mode. 2)Create a private network. 3)Change firewall settings. 4)For each domU in vm directory add “bridge=br1” in the MAC address. 5)To each domU assign an IP address and route via the host.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION  IPERF Network testing tool that can create TCP and UDP DataStream and measure the throughput of a network that is carrying them.  JPERF Graphical front end tool for iperf
