Abstract: Example methods and systems for virtual tunnel virtualized computing instance (VTEP) learning based on transport protocol information are described. In one example, a computer system may learn first mapping information and second mapping information. The first mapping information may associate (a) a first VTEP with (b) first transport protocol information and inner address information associated with a first virtualized computing instance. The second mapping information may associate (a) a second VTEP with (b) second transport protocol information and inner address information associated with a second virtualized computing instance. The computer system may detect an egress packet that is addressed to the inner address information. In response to determination that the egress packet specifies the first transport protocol information, a first encapsulated packet may be generated and sent towards the first VTEP. Otherwise, a second encapsulated packet may be generated and sent towards the second VTEP.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for service request handling with protocol translation are described. In one example, in response to intercepting a service request from a virtualized computing instance, a computer system may generate and send a translated service request towards a service node. The translated service request may be generated by performing a first translation of the service request from a service protocol to a data exchange protocol supported by both a client node running on the computer system and a service node. In response to receiving the service response that is generated according to the data exchange protocol from the service node, the computer system may generate and send a translated service response towards the virtualized computing instance. The translated service response may be generated by performing a second translation of the service response from the data exchange protocol to the service protocol.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for blockchain-based licensing as a service are described. In one example, a computer system may receive a first request to obtain a first license associated with a first product from a first client system. In response, the computer system may (a) select a first blockchain from multiple blockchains, and (b) generate and store a first non-fungible token (NFT) on the first blockchain to issue the first license. Further, the computer system may receive a second request to obtain a second license associated with the first product or a second product from a second client system. In response, the computer system may (a) select a second blockchain from multiple blockchains, and (b) generate and store a second NFT on the second blockchain to issue the second license.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for validation-based service request handling are described. In one example, a computer system may obtain, from a management entity, configuration information specifying a unicast service address associated with a service node capable of providing a network service. In response to detecting a service request from the virtualized computing instance, the computer system may generate a modified service request that (a) is destined for the unicast service address and (b) includes a validation identifier (ID) associated with the virtualized computing instance. The modified service request may be forwarded towards the service node to cause the service node to perform validation based on the validation ID to determine whether to provide the network service. In response to detecting a service response from the service node, the service response, or a modified service response, may be forwarded towards the virtualized computing instance.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for centralized service insertion in an active-active cluster are described. In one example, a first service endpoint may operate in an active mode on a first logical service router (SR) supported by the computer system. The first service endpoint may be associated with a second service endpoint operating on the second logical SR in a standby mode. The first logical SR and the second logical SR may be assigned to a first sub-cluster of the active-active cluster. In response to receiving a service request originating from a virtualized computing instance, the service request may be processed using the first service endpoint according to a centralized service that is implemented by both the first service endpoint and the second service endpoint. A processed service request may be forwarded towards a destination capable of generating and sending a service response in reply to the processed service request.
