A controller, which manages nodes that provide virtual entities, receives information from a first of the nodes, where the received information relates to a characteristic of a virtual entity provided by the first node. The controller determines that the received information is inconsistent with information, maintained by the controller, relating to the characteristic of the virtual entity provided by the first node. In response to the determining, the controller reconciles an inconsistency between the received information and the information maintained by the controller.

Reconciling information in a controller and a node

A system and method is provided for rate limiting network traffic flow of an untrusted application. A master module in a server environment manages network traffic flow restrictions. A slave module executes client applications in the server environment. A services module in the server environment executes a trusted application to validate the client application to the master module. A traffic restriction module on the master module sets network traffic restrictions when validation has not been received for the client application on the slave blade, and receives client application validations from the trusted application to unrestrict network traffic flow for the client application on the slave blade.
