[Advanced nework credit scheduler: ANCS]

ANCS is a modified network back-end driver in Xen hypervisor, which differentiates network performance of virtual machines running concurrently.

[PREREQUISITE]

Because ANCS is desinged for virtualized environment (especially Xen hypervisor with its separate I/O model), 
it requires following environments.
- Xen installed Linux kernel version. 3.10.55

[INSTALL GUIDES]

1. Replace existing driver code in driver/xen-netback with files in this repository.
2. Compile a Linux kernel with the modified driver source code.
3. Generate and run virtual machines
4. If the xen-netback driver is not a built-in module, insmod xen-netback.ko
5. Use proc file system in /proc/oslab to configure performance values
