Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, configure the system to:
generate, based on input of a customer, access control list (ACL) information for traffic flow in a Layer 2 virtual network of the customer, wherein the Layer 2 virtual network is hosted on a physical network and comprises a plurality of Layer 2 compute instances, a plurality of Layer 2 virtual network interfaces, and a plurality of Layer 2 virtual switches;
determine that the ACL information is applicable to a subset of the plurality of Layer 2 virtual network interfaces, the subset comprising a Layer 2 virtual network interface;
determine that the ACL information is to be sent to a network virtualization device (NVD) of the physical network, wherein:
the NVD hosts the Layer 2 virtual network interface and a Layer 2 virtual switch of the plurality of Layer 2 virtual switches,
the Layer 2 virtual network interface and the Layer 2 virtual switch are associated with a Layer 2 compute instance of the plurality of Layer 2 compute instances, and
the Layer 2 compute instance is hosted on a host machine of the physical network, the host machine and the NVD being communicatively coupled; and

send the ACL information to the NVD.
