    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for handling failure at one of several peer centralized components of a logical router. At a first one of the peer centralized components of the logical router, the method detects that a second one of the peer centralized components has failed. In response to the detection, the method automatically identifies a network layer address of the failed second peer. The method assumes responsibility for data traffic to the failed peer by broadcasting a message on a logical switch that connects all of the peer centralized components and a distributed component of the logical router. The message instructs recipients to associate the identified network layer address with a data link layer address of the first peer centralized component.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide method for implementing a logical router of a logical network. The method receives a configuration for a first logical router. The configuration includes a static route for the first logical router. The method defines several routing components with separate routing tables for the logical router. The method adds a first route, having a first static route type, for the static route to the routing tables of at least a first subset of the routing components. Based on the connection of a second logical router to the first logical router, adding a second route, having a second static route type, to the routing tables of at least a second subset of the routing components.

    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first network edge device configuring a physical network interface to be included within a link aggregation group (LAG). The physical network interface of a second network edge device is also included within the LAG. The first network edge device receives, via the LAG, a first address resolution packet including a source and a destination. The first network edge device determines that the destination of the address resolution packet is a networking address assigned to a logical interface that is unique to the second network edge device. In response, first network edge device transmits the address resolution packet from a synchronization network interface to a synchronization network interface of the second network edge device. The synchronization network interface of each network edge device is excluded from sharing a LAG with network edge device ports of the other network edge device.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for managing traffic in a virtualized environment. The method, in some embodiments, configures multiple edge service gateways (ESGs) executing on multiple host machines (e.g., on a hypervisor) to use a same anycast inner internet protocol (IP) address and a same anycast inner media access control (MAC) address. In some embodiments, ESGs of a logical network facilitate communication between machines connected to the logical network and machines on external networks. In some embodiments, the method configures a set of virtual extensible local area network tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) connected to an ESG to use a same anycast VTEP IP address. The method, in some embodiments, configures a distributed logical router (DLR or DR) to send data packets with destinations outside the logical network from sources belonging to the logical network to the anycast VTEP IP address.

    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for configuring a logical router that interfaces with an external network. The method receives a configuration for a logical network that includes a logical router with several interfaces that connect to at least one physical router external to the logical network. The method selects a separate host machine to host a centralized routing component for each of the interfaces. The method selects a particular one of the host machines for operating a dynamic routing protocol control plane that receives routing protocol data from each of the centralized routing components and updates routing tables of each of the centralized routing components.

    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first network edge device configuring a mapping between a physical network interface and a plurality of logical interfaces. A second network edge device also configures a mapping between a physical network interface and a copy of the plurality of logical interfaces. Each of the logical interfaces is assigned a corresponding set of first and second layer networking addresses that is replicated across the first and second network edge devices. The first network edge device receives a first address resolution request via the physical network interface of the first network edge device that includes a source and a destination. The destination is an address assigned to one of the plurality of logical interfaces. The first network edge device determines a second layer networking address assigned to the destination logical interface and transmits an address resolution response including the determined second layer networking address.
