Evaluation of network performance - type1 open source virtualization platforms

Virtualization is a technology and a trend most studies and industries are putting their interest on. The capability of virtualization to carry out, perform, and deliver the task which a physical computer/server does is just one of the many benefits it has. A term open source is also buzzing the internet world; platforms OpenNode, Proxmox, and OpenVPN are examples of such. This paper evaluated the network performance of each platform mentioned above using D-ITG software tool. The results shows that Proxmox and OpenNode performs rather equal with a negligible difference between them. On the other hand, when OpenVPN is implemented, Proxmox gave a better results in throughput, jitter, and delay.
