Lent AB - The simultaneous boot of multiple virtual machines or networking devices imposes heavy load on the networking infrastructure. In large network of many virtual machines the coordination of the reboots and device registration is required. In the paper we present a simple analytical model computing the distribution of boot-up time, which is verified by comparison to a simulation model and provide analysis of the influence of several parameters on the overall boot-up time during a boot storm.
