Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for selecting a transmit queue of a network interface card (NIC) of a host computer for an outbound data message. The NIC includes multiple transmit queues and multiple receive queues. Each of the transmit queues is individually associated with a different receive queue, and the MC performs a load balancing operation to distribute inbound data messages among multiple receive queues. The method extracts a set of header values from a header of the outbound data message. The method uses the extracted set of header values to identify a receive queue which the MC would select for a corresponding inbound data message upon which the NIC performed the load balancing operation. The method selects a transmit queue associated with the identified receive queue to process the outbound data message.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a module executing on a Kubernetes node in a cluster. The method retrieves data regarding ongoing connections processed by a forwarding element executing on the node. The method maps the retrieved data to Kubernetes concepts implemented in the cluster. The method exports the retrieved data along with the Kubernetes concepts to an aggregator that receives data regarding ongoing connections from a plurality of nodes in the cluster.
