    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 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.
