Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Some embodiments provide a system for implementing a logical network that includes a set of end machines, a first logical middlebox, and a second logical middlebox connected by a set of logical forwarding elements. The system includes a set of nodes. Each of several nodes includes (i) a virtual machine for implementing an end machine of the logical network, (ii) a managed switching element for implementing the set of logical forwarding elements of the logical network, and (iii) a middlebox element for implementing the first logical middlebox of the logical network. The system includes a physical middlebox appliance for implementing the second logical middlebox.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for configuring a logical network in a hosting system comprising a plurality of nodes, the method comprising: receiving a first configuration for a first middlebox of the logical network and a second configuration for a second middlebox of the logical network, the logical network comprising a plurality of end machines hosted on a subset of the plurality of nodes; identifying the subset of the plurality of the nodes as nodes for implementing the first middle…
