Abstract

Current virtual datacenters in cloud computing have flexible mechanisms to partition compute resources but provide little control over how tenants share the network. This paper proposes a game based approach for sharing the network bandwidth between tenants. Leveraging network virtualization technology, we present a game model for virtual bandwidth allocation. In the game, the data center owner as a leader announces a price for bandwidth allocation that attempts to drive the tenant's virtual networks to the social optimal solution, each virtual network as a follower chooses a willingness-to-pay to maximize its own profit. Experimental results show that the bandwidth allocation between tenants is efficient and fair.
