Re: [Xen-devel] Is there any mechanism in XEN can use to limit the memory bandwidth of each domain?

[George Dunlap <dunlapg@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, Xen does not measure or attempt to control memory bandwidth at the moment.

Other than simply not scheduling a VM, I'm not aware of any way to
throttle memory accesses.  One can imagine enhancing a scheduler to
count memory accesses, and to schedule based not only on pure time on
the cpu, but on memory instructions executed.

Sounds like a research paper. :-)
