CloudStack is integrated with Traffic Sentinel to meter bandwidth for Basic (Shared) network. This integration can be configured as per you need using below parameters:
traffic.sentinel.include.zones (default External) traffic.sentinel.exclude.zones All the traffic to/from zones defined in traffic.sentinel.include.zones parameter are metered. Any traffic to/from zones defined in traffic.sentinel.exclude.zones won't be metered. Note that these zones are Traffic Sentinel zones and not CS zones. By default all traffic to/from External zone is metered and VM-VM traffic won't be metered. ~kishan > -----Original Message----- > From: Pierre-Yves Ritschard [mailto:p...@spootnik.org] > Sent: Tuesday, 15 January 2013 6:14 PM > To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Network Bandwidth Usage for Basic Networking > > Hi, > > As far as I can tell, network bandwidth usage is computed by reporting the > tx/rx counters of the VM interfaces bearing public IPs on hypervisors. > > If this is the case I suppose VM-to-VM bandwidth is also metered then ? > Which would mean that billing would take into account intra-zone traffic, is > this correct ? > > If so, is there a way to prevent intra-zone traffic from being metered, bonus > question, is it possible to prevent an arbitrary CIDR from being metered as > well ? > > Cheers, > - pyr
