Abstract: Example methods and systems for priority-based network bandwidth allocation are described. In one example, a first computer system may detect an event indicating that network bandwidth allocation is required for a virtualized computing instance. The first computer system may identify, from multiple priority levels, a first priority level that is associated with (a) the virtualized computing instance, (b) a logical network element to which the virtualized computing instance is attached, or (c) a group that includes the virtualized computing instance or the logical network element. The first computer system may obtain network bandwidth capacity information associated with physical network adapter(s) capable of forwarding traffic associated with the virtualized computing instance.

Abstract: Example methods and computer systems are provided for logical overlay network monitoring. The method may comprise: obtaining egress metric information associated with egress encapsulated packets that are sent by a source virtual tunnel endpoint (VTEP) to a destination VTEP over a logical overlay network; and obtaining ingress metric information associated with ingress encapsulated packets that are received by the destination VTEP from the source VTEP over the logical overlay network. The method may also comprise: performing a comparison to identify a divergence between the egress metric information and the ingress metric information; and based on the divergence, detecting a performance issue affecting logical overlay network connectivity between the source VTEP and the destination VTEP.
