1. A method of managing network traffic classes in a virtualized computing platform comprising: determining capabilities of a Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing enabled network adapter; determining capabilities of a network and associated network switches; defining one or more traffic classes based on shared capabilities of the Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing enabled network adapter and of the network and associated network switches; assigning the one or more defined traffic classes to a partition within the virtualized computing platform; and routing Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packets based upon a LLDP Multicast Address or a Ethertype Field to a LLDP queue pair.
