Switch and method for guaranteeing quality of service of multi-tenant cloud service and system having the same switch

摘要

Provided are a method, apparatus, and system for providing a multi-tenant cloud service, which can guarantee quality of service (QOS) in units of flows and virtual machines (VMs). A dynamic virtual flow switch includes a switch flow agent configured to receive and store virtual machine QOS information about each of a plurality of virtual machines operating in a plurality of computer servers and flow QOS information about a flow generated by the virtual machine from a virtual flow controller and a flow processing unit configured to receive the flow generated by the virtual machine and determine a QOS priority of the flow based on the stored virtual machine QOS information of the virtual machine and flow QOS information of the flow.
