Hello,
I am new to CloudSim and just started learning it. I am
confused about the term Datacenter Broker. Suppose I have 10 different
users with their specific workloads given and I have 3 Datacenters,
can you tell me how many Datacenter Broker must be created ? ... Means
every user has its broker to whom the cloudlet list is submitted or
broker must be associated with Datacenters ? ... Please help me .

Hi Prashant,

The Broker is an abstraction of users and/or workloads. you can use
one instance of this class to represent each user, or you can use one
instance to represent all the users, or one instance to represent a
group of users with a similar behavior/workload.

Regards,
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,
Thanks for the information, One thing more if it is the Instance of
the Users then
how should we implement which broker to run in which datacenter ? ..

Brokers and Datacenters are independent, and definition of which
datacenter receives each request from the broker is part of the broker
policies that are supposed to be developed by CloudSim users.
