摘要： Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a first MFE that operates on a container virtual machine (VM) to process packets from a set of containers operating on the container VM. The provided method comprises (a) identifying a logical forwarding element to which the set of containers logically connect; (b) receiving a tag value that maps to the logical forwarding element; and (c) configuring the MFE operating on the container VM to tag data messages received from the containers with the tag value before sending the data messages to a second MFE, operating outside of the container VM, for logical processing.

摘要： Some embodiments provide a method for a managed forwarding element (MFE). The method receives a packet from a data compute node for which the MFE performs first-hop processing. The data compute node is associated with multiple tunnel endpoints of the MFE. The method determines a destination tunnel endpoint for the packet. The method uses a load balancing algorithm to select one of the multiple tunnel endpoints of the MFE as a source tunnel endpoint for the packet. The method encapsulates the packet in a tunnel using the source and destination tunnel endpoints.

摘要： A novel method of conducting multicast traffic in a network is provided. The network includes multiple endpoints that receive messages from the network and generate messages for the network. The endpoints are located in different segments of the network, each segment including one or more of the endpoints. For a source endpoint to replicate a particular message (e.g., a data packet) for all endpoints belonging to a particular replication group (i.e., multicast group) within the network, the source endpoint replicates the particular message to each endpoint within the source endpoint's own segment and to a proxy endpoint in each of the other segments. Each proxy endpoint in turn replicates the particular message to all endpoints belonging to the particular replication group within the proxy endpoint's own segment.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种在网络中进行多播业务的新方法。 网络包括多个端点，从网络接收消息并为网络生成消息。 端点位于网络的不同部分，每个部分包括一个或多个端点。 对于源端点复制属于网络内特定复制组（即多播组）的所有端点的特定消息（例如，数据包），源端点将该特定消息复制到源端点自身内的每个端点 段和每个其他段中的代理端点。 每个代理端点依次将特定消息复制到属于代理端点自己的段内的特定复制组的所有端点。
