Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a logical middlebox in a hosting system that includes a set of nodes. The logical middlebox is part of a logical network that includes a set of logical forwarding elements that connect a set of end machines. The method receives a set of configuration data for the logical middlebox. The method uses a stored set of tables describing physical locations of the end machines to identify a set of nodes at which to implement the logical middlebox. The method provides the logical middlebox configuration for distribution to the identified nodes.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for configuring a logical middlebox in a hosting system comprising a plurality of nodes, the method comprising: receiving a set of configuration data for the logical middleboxical network comprising a set of logical forwarding elements that connects a set of end machines; using a stored set of tables describing physical locations of the end machines to identify a set of nodes that hosts at least a subset of the end machines of the logical network; and pro…
