Performance of distrinet

[cj-chung]

How good the performance and scalability of current distrinet implementation?
How to improve them?

[ghost]

Distrinet evaluates performance from three perspectives: the execution time of emulations; the network throughput compared with Mininet, Mininet CE, Maxinet; and running behavior under high load.

@JenZ2019 can you summarize the result from paper or your findings here. If you have figures or metric data, please post here too and give them some explanation.

We observe that the creation of a vNode or of a vLink is much longer with Distrinet because it uses LXC containers that are slower to start, but are more isolated.

We can see that the maximum throughput measured with iperf is very close between Distrinet and Mininet.

The deployment time of Vhost and vswitch is related to the over commitment of CPU of PM.
