    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for rate limiting packets in a network. Embodiments include receiving, by a rate limiting engine running on a host machine, a network event related to a virtual computing instance running on the host machine, the network event comprising flow information about a network flow. Embodiments include receiving, by the rate limiting engine, context information corresponding to the network flow, wherein the context information comprises one or more of a user characteristic or an application characteristic. Embodiments include determining, by the rate limiting engine, a priority for the network flow by applying a rate limiting policy to the flow information and the context information. Embodiments include providing, by the rate limiting engine, the priority for the network flow to a multiplexer for use in rate limiting the network flow.

    Abstract: Example methods and systems are provided for network diagnosis. One example method may comprise: detecting an egress packet and determining whether each of multiple network issues is detected for the egress packet or a datapath between a first virtualized computing instance and a second virtualized computing instance. The method may also comprise: generating network diagnosis code information specifying whether each of the multiple network issues is detected or not detected; generating an encapsulated packet by encapsulating the egress packet with an outer header that specifies the network diagnosis code information; and sending the encapsulated packet towards the second virtualized computing instance to cause a second computer system to perform one or more remediation actions based on the network diagnosis code information.
