Examples described herein include distributed computing systems having a system traffic analyzer. The system traffic analyzer may receive sampled packets sent to a network from a number virtual machines hosted by computing nodes in the distributed computing system. The packets may be sampled, for example, by network flow monitors in hypervisors of the computing nodes. The system traffic analyzer may request co-location of virtual machines having greater than a threshold amount of traffic between them. The request for co-location may result in the requested virtual machines being hosted on a same computing node, which may in some examples conserve network bandwidth.

System traffic analyzers to request co-location of virtual machines in frequent communication

A system with at least one device including a hardware processor, performs the steps of receiving, by the system, a packet from a second system to be transmitted to a third system, forwarding, by the system to the third system, the packet received from the second system; modifying a portion of the packet to obtain a modified packet that falsely identifies a fourth system as a source of the modified packet, and transmitting, by the system to the third system, the modified packet identifying the fourth system as the source of the modified packet.
