    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to select edge gateways for communications based on exchanged hash information. In one implementation, a first gateway may receive hash information associated with second gateways, wherein the hash information is used to select a gateway of the second gateways to communicate a packet. The first gateway further receives a packet. hashes addressing in the packet to select a destination gateway of the second gateways for the packet. The first gateway further encapsulates the packet and communicates the encapsulated packet to the selected destination gateway.

    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: An example method of implementing a logical network in a software-defined data center (SDDC) includes: receiving, at a control plane, first configurations for first logical routers comprising advertised routes and a second configuration for a second logical router comprising a global in-filter, the global in-filter including filter rules, applicable to all southbound logical routers, which determine a set of allowable routes for the second logical router, the first logical routers connected to a southbound interface of the second logical router; determining, based on the filter rules, that a first advertised route is an allowed route; determining, based on the filter rules, that a second advertised route is a disallowed route; and distributing routing information to a host that implements at least a portion of the second logical router, the routing information including a route for the first advertised route and excluding any route for the second advertised route.
