    Abstract: Some embodiments provide, for a gateway datapath that executes on a gateway device to implement tenant logical routers for multiple different tenant logical networks and process traffic between the tenant logical networks and an external network, a method for managing QoS for the plurality of tenant logical networks. The method receives a data message for a particular tenant logical network. The method executes a set of processing stages to process the data message. The set of processing stages includes a processing stage for a particular tenant logical router of the particular tenant logical network. As part of the processing stage for the particular tenant logical router, the method uses a QoS data structure specific to the particular tenant logical router to determine whether to allow the data message. The gateway device stores at least one separate QoS data structure for each of a set of the tenant logical routers.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that identifies multiple paths between a first site and a second site. A security association (SA) is established for transmitting encrypted payload from the first site to the second site in a virtual private network (VPN) session. The method selects a path based on metrics that are obtained for the paths. The selected path is defined by a first endpoint address of the first site and a second endpoint address of the second site. The method sends a message from the first site to the second site to update the SA to switch from using an original path to using the selected path. The message indicates the first and second endpoint addresses. The method transmits a packet including a payload that is encrypted according to the updated SA.

    Abstract: Example methods and computer systems for encapsulated encrypted packet handling for receive-side scaling (RSS). One example may comprise a first computer system performing encryption and encapsulation on a first inner packet to generate a first encapsulated encrypted packet that includes (a) a first security protocol header and (b) a first outer header configured based on a first security association (SA). The first encapsulated encrypted packet may be forwarded to cause receive-side processing using a first core of a second computer system based on the first outer header. The first computer system may further perform encryption and encapsulation on a second inner packet to generate a second encapsulated encrypted packet that includes (a) a second security protocol header (b) a second outer header configured based on a second SA. The second encapsulated encrypted packet may be forwarded to cause receive-side processing using a second core based on the second outer header.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a gateway datapath that executes on a gateway device to implement logical routers for a set of logical networks and process traffic between the logical networks and an external network. The method receives a data message at the gateway device. To process the data message, the method executes a set of processing stages that includes a processing stage for a particular logical router. As part of the processing stage for the particular logical router, the method (i) uses an access control list (ACL) table to determine whether the data message is subject to rate limiting controls defined for the particular logical router and (ii) only when the data message is subject to rate limiting controls, determines whether to allow the data message according to a rate limiting mechanism for the particular logical router.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for monitoring the status of a network connection between first and second host computers. The method is performed in some embodiments by a tunnel monitor executing on the first host computer that also separately executes a machine, where the machine uses a tunnel to send and receive messages to and from the second host computer. The method establishes a liveness channel with the machine to iteratively determine whether the first machine is operational. The method further establishes a monitoring session with the second host computer to iteratively determine whether the tunnel is operational. When a determination is made through the liveness channel that the machine is no longer operational, the method terminates the monitoring session with the second host computer. When a determination is made that the tunnel is no longer operational, the method notifies the machine through the liveness channel.
