    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for an MFE, in a first datacenter, to implement an LN spanning the first datacenter and a set of additional datacenters. The method stores records that each map one or more LN addresses for DCNs belonging to the LN and operating in the first datacenter to a different TEP address. The method stores an additional record that maps addresses for DCNs connected to a particular LFE of the LN and operating in the additional datacenters to a group of TEP addresses corresponding to LN gateways that handle data traffic for the particular LFE between the first datacenter and the additional datacenters. Upon receiving a data message with a destination address corresponding to a DCN connected to the particular LFE and operating in one of the additional datacenters, the method uses the additional record to identify a TEP address for encapsulating the data message.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a logical network. Based on logical network configuration data, the method identifies a route for a set of network addresses to add to a routing table of the logical router, and also identifies a route type for the identified route. The method determines whether to include the identified route as a route for the logical router to advertise based on the route type of the identified route. The method distributes a routing table comprising the identified route to a computing device that implements the logical router, where the computing device advertises the identified route when the route type is specified for advertisement.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a computing device that implements a first logical network gateway in a first datacenter to process data messages between data compute nodes (DCNs) belonging to the logical network and operating in the first datacenter and DCNs belonging to the logical network and operating in a second datacenter. From a host computer in the first datacenter, the method receives a logical network data message encapsulated with a first tunnel header including a first virtual network identifier corresponding to a logical forwarding element of the logical network. The method removes the first tunnel header and encapsulates the logical network data message with a second tunnel header include a second virtual network identifier corresponding to the logical forwarding element. The method transmits the logical network data message encapsulated with the second tunnel header to a second logical network gateway in the second datacenter.
