| | Crossbow: Network Virtualization and Resource Control at OpenSolaris.org |
 | | Crossbow provides the building blocks for network virtualization and resource control by virtualizing the stack and NIC around any service (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, NFS, etc.), protocol or Virtual machine. |
 | | Project Crossbow is next step in the evolution of Solaris networking stack and brings bandwidth resource control and virtualization as part of the architecture itself instead of the usual add-on layers which have heavy overheads and complexity. |
 | | Crossbow creates the concept of a flow, which comprises a class of traffic and a handling policy (bandwidth limit, priority, etc.) A flow, for example, can correspond to a particular protocol, service, or virtual machine. |
