Abstract
In one embodiment a method for communicating data comprises receiving, by a traffic manager between a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) and a network interface, (a) first data from a first VM in the plurality of VMs and en route via a first client computer to a first device, and (b) second data from a second VM in the plurality of VMs and en route via a second client computer to a second device; determining first attributes of the first data that provide a first communication requirement; determining second attributes of the second data that provide a second communication requirement; determining, based on available bandwidth of the network interface, a communications schedule associated with cumulative bandwidth of the first and second communication requirements; and transmitting, according to the communications schedule, the first data to the first client computer and the second data to the second client computer.
