Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for decentralizing control plane operations in a network environment that includes transport nodes configured to implement a logical overlay network. A method includes transmitting a global list of transport nodes to each of the plurality of transport nodes from a management plane, the global list including an ordered list of the plurality of transport nodes. The method also includes transmitting a neighbor index value to each of the plurality of transport nodes, where the transport nodes each compute a corresponding list of neighbor transport nodes based on the neighbor index value and the global list of transport nodes. The method also includes, based on determining an update to a state of the logical overlay network has occurred by a first transport node, transmitting an update message from the first transport node to each transport node in the first transport node's list of neighbor transport nodes.

Abstract: Virtual computing instances are provisioned with network resource allocation constraints, which may include hard constraints that must be met in order for the virtual computing instances to be created in a host server. Network resources from multiple hosts may be pooled in a virtual switch, and a cloud management system (CMS) may ensure that a network bandwidth reservation for a new virtual computing instance can be accommodated by network bandwidth in the pool that is reserved for communication endpoint traffic. In addition to such CMS-level constraint enforcement, techniques disclosed herein may also enforce network bandwidths constraints at the host level to guarantee that network bandwidth reservation requirements for communication endpoint(s) of a new virtual computing instance can be satisfied by a particular host before creating the virtual computing instance in that host.

Abstract translation: 虚拟计算实例被配置有网络资源分配约束，其可以包括必须满足的硬约束以便在主机服务器中创建虚拟计算实例。 来自多个主机的网络资源可以被汇集在虚拟交换机中，并且云管理系统（CMS）可以确保通过为通信终端流量预留的池中的网络带宽来适应新的虚拟计算实例的网络带宽预留 。 除了这种CMS级别的约束执行之外，本文公开的技术还可以在主机级别上实施网络带宽约束，以保证新的虚拟计算实例的通信端点的网络带宽预留要求可以由特定的主机在 在该主机中创建虚拟计算实例。
