Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to scalable policy assignment in an edge virtual bridging (EVB) environment. One embodiment includes a system including a physical end station includes a hypervisor. The physical end station creates at least one virtual machine (VM). A virtual station interface (VSI) database (DB) is coupled to a VM manager server. The VSI DB stores policy information and bandwidth filter information. A policy assignment module is coupled to a switch adjacent to the physical end station. The policy assignment module generates a VSI DB table with at least a portion of the VSI DB information from the VSI DB and a policy discriminator (PD) value for each VSI type ID.
