Abstract

Example methods and systems for validation-based service request handling are described. In one example, a computer system may obtain, from a management entity, configuration information specifying a unicast service address associated with a service node capable of providing a network service. In response to detecting a service request from the virtualized computing instance, the computer system may generate a modified service request that (a) is destined for the unicast service address and (b) includes a validation identifier (ID) associated with the virtualized computing instance. The modified service request may be forwarded towards the service node to cause the service node to perform validation based on the validation ID to determine whether to provide the network service. In response to detecting a service response from the service node, the service response, or a modified service response, may be forwarded towards the virtualized computing instance.
