Packet conflict resolution

摘要

Some embodiments provide a method for a first managed forwarding element that implements a logical network. The method receives a packet from a second managed forwarding element. The first packet has an initial set of characteristics defining a first connection between a source machine connected to the second managed forwarding element and a destination machine connected to the first managed forwarding element. The method determines whether a second connection exists with the initial set of characteristics between a different machine connected to a third managed forwarding element and the destination machine. When a second connection exists with the initial set of characteristics, the method modifies at least one characteristic of the packet such that the modified packet does not have the same set of characteristics. The method delivers the modified packet to the destination machine.

1. For a first managed forwarding element that implements a logical network, a method comprising:
receiving a first packet from a second managed forwarding element, the first packet having an initial set of characteristics defining a first connection between a source machine connected to the second managed forwarding element and a destination machine connected to the first managed forwarding element; determining whether a second connection exists with the initial set of characteristics between a different machine connected to a third managed forwarding element and the destination machine; when a second connection exists with the initial set of characteristics, modifying at least one characteristic of the packet such that the modified packet does not have the initial set of characteristics; and delivering the modified packet to the destination machine.
