A quantitative comparison of virtual network environments based on performance measurements

Virtualization tools can be an alternative to impl ement networking scenarios, with the purpose of making measurement e xperiments similar to those in real networks. For this, it is important t o use the virtualization tool that consumes fewer resources. In this work, we have obt ained a quantitative comparison of the CPU and memory consumption of those virtualization tools during the boot up and execution of a concrete virtual scenario.
