Network Bandwidth Management
VMware ESX Server supports network traffic shaping with the nfshaper loadable
module. A loadable packet filter module defines a filter class; multiple filter instances
may be active for each loaded class. The current release supports only one filter class
— nfshaper, which is a transmit filter for outbound bandwidth management that
can be attached to virtual machines using either a procfs interface or the VMware
Management Interface.
Using Network Filters
This section describes how to attach, detach and query filter instances from the
console operating system’s command line. You can also use the VMware
Management Interface to attach and detach nfshaper and obtain statistics from it.
Managing Network Bandwidth from the Management
Interface
On the server’s Overview page, click Manage Resources. The Resource Monitor page
appears. Click Edit Resources under the name of the virtual machine for which you
want to change settings. Enter the desired settings, then click Save Changes.
You must log in as root in order to change resource management settings using
either the management interface or procfs.
