vim.LatencySensitivity
======================
Specification of the latency-sensitivity information.The latency-sensitivity is used to request from the kernel a constraint on the scheduling delay of the virtual CPUs or other resources. This allows latency-sensitive applications(e.g. VOIP, audio/video streaming, etc.) to run in a virtual machine which is configured to use specific scheduling latencies and to be scheduled with low latency.The kernel does not provide any guarantee that it will meet the latency-sensitivity requirement of a virtual machine CPU or other resources but it will always accept the latency-sensitivity value provided.
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
:since: `vSphere API 5.1`_
Attributes:
level (`vim.LatencySensitivity.SensitivityLevel`_):
The nominal latency-sensitive level of the application.
sensitivity (`int`_, optional):
The custom absolute latency-sensitivity value of the application. This value will be used only when the latency-sensitivity `level`_ property is is set tocustom. It is ignored in all other cases.The unit of this value is micro-seconds and the application is more latency sensitive when this value is smaller. For example, if the absolute latency-sensitivity is 2000us, the kernel will try to schedule the virtual machine in a way so that its scheduling latency is not more than 2ms.
