    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for implementing a logical network across multiple datacenters. The method receives a configuration for a logical router that handles data traffic between the logical network implemented in the plurality of datacenters and networks external to the logical network. The method, for each datacenter defines (i) an active centralized routing component of the logical router in the datacenter and (ii) a standby centralized routing component of the logical router in the datacenter. The centralized routing components for a particular datacenter handle the data traffic between the logical network in the particular datacenter and the external networks. The active and standby centralized routing components are each assigned to edge computing devices in the datacenter that implement the centralized routing components.
