In one embodiment, a system includes a switch having logic configured to receive an overlay packet via an overlay tunnel, the overlay packet including an overlay tunnel header having Quality of Service (QoS) attributes stored therein and a packet, remove the QoS attributes from the overlay tunnel header, decapsulate the packet from the overlay packet to remove the overlay tunnel header, determine a destination port from the packet, and forward the packet to the destination port. In another embodiment, a method includes receiving a packet on a source port, determining a virtual network associated with the source port, encapsulating the packet with at least one overlay tunnel header to form an overlay packet, storing QoS attributes with the at least one overlay tunnel header, the QoS attributes being determined in part by the virtual network, and sending the overlay packet via an overlay tunnel.
