PERFORMING DETECTION, MITIGATION AND ESCALATION OPERATIONS TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF A NETWORK CONNECTING ENDPOINT PROCESSING UNITS

Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method of executing a distributed application with multiple endpoint processing units (EPUs) that perform operations necessary for executing the distributed application. The method configures multiple forwarding elements that are part of a network to forward data message flows between the EPUs in order to allow the EPUs to share results of distributed-application operations that the EPUs execute. The method repeatedly collects and analyzes telemetry data from the forwarding elements. Upon detecting, based on the telemetry analysis, performance degradation at a particular forwarding element, the method reconfigures one or more forwarding elements to forward fewer data message flows through the particular forwarding element in order to mitigate the detected performance degradation.
