Logical processing for containers

摘要

Some embodiments provide a method for a first managed forwarding element (MFE). The method receives a data message that includes a logical context tag that identifies a logical port of a particular logical forwarding element. Based on the logical context tag, the method adds a local tag to the data message. The local tag is associated with the particular logical forwarding element, which is one of several logical forwarding elements to which one or more containers operating on a container virtual machine (VM) belong. The container VM connects to the first MFE. The method delivers the data message to the container VM without any logical context. A second MFE operating on the container VM uses the local tag to forward the data message to a correct container of several containers operating on the container VM.

1. For a first managed forwarding element (MFE), a method comprising:
receiving a data message comprising a logical context tag that identifies a logical port of a particular logical forwarding element; based on the logical context tag, adding a local tag to the data message, the local tag associated with the particular logical forwarding element, wherein the particular logical forwarding element is one of a plurality of logical forwarding elements to which one or more containers operating on a container virtual machine (VM) belong, wherein the container VM connects to the first MFE; and delivering the data message to the container VM without any logical context, wherein a second MFE operating on the container VM uses the local tag to forward the data message to a correct container of a plurality of containers operating on the container VM.
