Abstract
Approaches for handling network resources in a virtualized computing environment. A first request for network resources is received from a first virtual machine. Policy data is consulted to determine how to service the first request. The first request is processed by providing the first virtual machine with access to only a first portion of network resources. A second request for network resources is received from a second virtual machine. Policy data is consulted to determine how to service the second request. The second request is processed by providing the second virtual machine with access to only a second portion of network resources that is not coextensive with the first portion. In this way, virtual machines may have access to particular resources and/or specific bounded areas of a network.
