Ralf,

Thank you for your clarifications.
Anyway, Loukik was right... Before initiating VMWare distribution,
we should discuss and see if NRENS are interested in using VMWARE image 
of PerfSONAR.
(Either for testing, training  or even production purpose...)

If not, It is not worth to spend more time and effort upon Virtualization.

Thanks
