| Abstract | One of the biggest challenges of virtualization today is to efficiently share and manage network devices among different virtual machines (VMs). Software-based network virtualization solutions like device emulation and split driver device models have advantages of resource sharing and fine grained hypervisor resource control. However, software based approaches have performance and scalability impediments due to the software interventions for every I/O activity. Recent hardware advancements in network devices allow in-device partitioning and assignment of network functions to different guest operating systems. The nature of the assignment is static which gives rise to inflexibility in efficient network resource management. Additionally, fine grained hypervisor control on the network device is compromised because of the direct hardware assignment to the guest virtual machine. In this work, we propose Vagabond, an alternate network virtualization model that supports flexible and dynamic assignment of network resources to guest VMs. The most significant advantage of the proposed model is to facilitate a framework to manage network resources efficiently when the number of hardware in-device partitions are less than the number of VMs. Additionally the advantages of software based network virtualization are kept intact to overcome the difficulties posed due to direct hardware assignment to the guest. Our experimental evaluation shows that the CPU resource overhead with Vagabond is up to 2x lower than the software approach. Compared to the direct hardware assignment, Vagabond incurs an additional overhead of 17% in the best case. We demonstrate the applicability and usage of Vagabond with two use cases: live migration of VMs connected to hardware in-device partitions and a fair-share network resource allocation scheme. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
