Winner of Best Paper at LISA 09. Describes project Crossbow in OpenSolaris, which is introducing new abstractions that provide virtual network interface cards (VNICs) and virtual switches that can have dedicated hardware resources and bandwidth assigned to them.

Multiple VNICs can be assigned to OpenSolaris zones to create virtual network machines (VNM) that provide higher level networking functionality like virtual routing, virtual load balancing, and so on.
