METHOD, VIRTUAL MACHINE, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR ASSISTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN VIRTUAL MACHINES

摘要

One aspect of the present invention relates to a virtual machine for supporting communication between virtual machines. The virtual machine includes first to M virtual interfaces connected to each of a plurality of physical network interfaces set to be available among physical network interfaces existing on a network, and a software trunk configured to create the first to M virtual interfaces. Provided is a virtual machine capable of communicating with the other virtual machine through at least one virtual interface determined by the software trunk and at least one physical network interface connected to the at least one virtual interface, among the first to M virtual interfaces. According to the present invention, an optimized mesh configuration and software or hardware bonding configuration of communication channels among hardware switching fabric, physical network interfaces, and virtual interfaces can be realized, thereby enabling communication between virtual machines with high bandwidth and low latency.
