Indeed, that is my next job (exactly, current job).

Although Paolo Valente has presented a solution of I/O bandwidth control
(see http://lwn.net/Articles/309400/), I would more like to present
bandwidth reservation mechanism, especially for data-intensive
applications (e.g. hadoop cluster).

This kind of applications take more account of the reservation of
I/O bandwidth and netword bandwidth.
