Project: Resource Scheduler (RS)

Introduction

For telecom applications, the resource scheduler needs much more information of network for resource allocation besides CPU and memory data. Upstream project OpenStack is short of functions to monitor and collect information from network for many applications. This project would collect more network information, do resource isolation and make Enhanced Scheduler so that resource allocation could be more efficient.
