Abstract

In this paper the authors intend to report results for performance evaluation of Xen-based node providing both transport and computational functionalities. This node design is proposed as the implementation platform developed for the Polish Initiative of Future Internet called System IIP. In particular, we search for mutual dependence among transport and computational performance parameters of the node. Our investigations show that there is significant dependence among performance indices, such as virtual link bandwidth and node’s processing power, strongly depending on frame size. The tests and measurements were done according to fundamental methodology designed for network devices, described in RFC 2544. The goal of those investigations is to design a provisioning module allocating both transport and computational resources.
