A technique for securing a virtualized computing environment includes retrieving identification information from a packet received on a physical port of a network switch. Port assignment data (maintained by one of a virtual machine monitor and a virtual machine monitor management station) for a virtual machine identified in the received packet is retrieved. The identification information from the received packet is compared with the port assignment data to determine whether the virtual machine is assigned to the port. In response to determining that the virtual machine is assigned to the port, the packet is forwarded to a destination designated in the packet. In response to determining that the virtual machine is not assigned to the port, the packet is blocked.

A topology tree is maintained, where each controller being the root of the tree, and where messages from the root to any switch may pass through neighboring switches to reach that switch (and vice-versa). Each switch in the SDN attempts to connect to the controller when it does not have a readily configured control connection towards the controller. Once the controller learns about the presence of a new switch and at least one or more paths to reach that switch through a novel discovery process, it can select, adjust and even optimize the control path's route towards that switch.

The embodiments set forth a technique for enabling a group of computing devices to delegate tasks in a manner that promotes energy savings. According to one embodiment, each computing device is configured to identify situations where the computing device has an energy advantage (e.g., when plugged-in) and should serve as a proxy computing device to other computing devices. Each computing device is also configured to identify situations where the computing device has an energy disadvantage (e.g., a low battery) and should seek out another computing device to act as a proxy computing device. In this manner, computing devices can delegate tasks between one another to reduce or eliminate the processing redundancies that otherwise occur when the computing devices work in isolation to maintain network connectivity and carry out tasks on their own.
