Tunnel creation

摘要

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program that configures managed forwarding elements to establish tunnels between the managed forwarding elements is described. From a particular managed forwarding element, the program receives information regarding coupling of a network element to the first managed forwarding element. Upon receiving the information, the program generates a set of universal flow entries for configuring another managed forwarding element to establish a tunnel to the particular managed forwarding element.

1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit configures managed forwarding elements to establish tunnels between the managed forwarding elements, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
from a first managed forwarding element, receiving information regarding coupling of a network element to the first managed forwarding element; upon receiving the information, generating a set of universal flow entries for configuring a second managed forwarding element to establish a tunnel to the first managed forwarding element and for configuring a third managed forwarding element to establish a tunnel to the first managed forwarding element; and sending the generated set of universal flow entries to the second managed forwarding element and the third managed forwarding element, wherein the set of universal flow entries are subsequently converted into two different sets of customized flow entries for the second and third managed forwarding elements.
