  • Achieving endpoint isolation by fairly sharing bandwidth
    Patent number: 8898295
    Abstract: Computerized methods, systems, and computer-storage media for fairly sharing available bandwidth among endpoints (including physical or virtual machines) of a multitenant environment are provided. Initially, a load balancer of the network is programmed to monitor bandwidth used by the endpoints, respectively, and to compare an aggregation of the usage against a network threshold. Also, the load balancer is equipped to dynamically classify the endpoints using the respective monitored bandwidth. Classifying generally involves designating some endpoints as small entities, which individually consume an amount of bandwidth less than an endpoint threshold, and designating other endpoints as large entities, which individually consume an amount of bandwidth greater than the endpoint threshold.
