Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
for individual host devices of a cluster of host devices in a virtualized computing environment:
determining, by a computing device, a data transport connection capacity;
determining, by a computing device, an aggregate memory consumption for one or more active data transport connections; and
determining, by a computing device, an upgrade status;

selecting, by a computing device, a particular host device of the cluster of host devices to satisfy a data transport connection request based on the data transport connection capacity, the aggregate memory consumption, and the upgrade status;
generating a data transport connection ticket defining the data transport connection request;
providing, by a computing device, instructions comprising at least the data transport connection ticket for establishing a data transport connection to the particular host device; and
initiating a transfer of information upon establishment of the data transport connection from the particular host device.
