    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for selecting an egress point for accessing an external network associated with a distributed logical router that is distributed across at least a first computing device and a second computing device is provided. The method receives, by an instance of the logical router at the first computing device, first identification information and a first preference value. The method compares the first preference value to a second preference value. The second preference value is associated with second identification information corresponding to a current computing device that is identified as a current preferred egress point for the logical router. The method determines whether to set the egress point connected to the instance of the logical router in the second computing device as a new preferred egress point for the logical router.
