In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a mechanism for implementing multi-level network administration in operating system partitions. With this mechanism, it is possible to control how network messages are routed and how network resources are used at multiple levels of an operating system environment. In one embodiment, a global administrator can control (or at least affect) routing at the partition level by setting the partition message processing rules. Similarly, a partition administrator can control (or at least affect) routing at the process group level by setting the process group message processing rules. Further, the global administrator can control the amount of a network resource that can be allocated to a non-global partition as a whole, and the partition administrator can control how that amount of the particular network resource can be allocated to the various projects within that non-global partition.
