Abstract:
Techniques are described for providing virtual networking functionality for managed computer networks. In some situations, a user may configure or otherwise specify a logical network topology for a managed computer network with multiple computing nodes that includes one or more virtual networking devices each associated with a specified group of the multiple computing nodes. Corresponding networking functionality may be provided for communications between the multiple computing nodes by emulating functionality that would be provided by the networking devices if they were physically present and configured to support the specified network topology. In some situations, the managed computer network is a virtual computer network overlaid on a substrate network, and the networking device functionality emulating includes receiving routing communications directed to the networking devices and using included routing information to update the specified network topology for the managed computer network.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 3  wherein one of the multiple communications forwarded between the multiple computing nodes over the substrate network is a communication sent from a first of the multiple computing nodes to a second of the multiple computing nodes, wherein the specified configuration information indicates a network topology for the first virtual computer network that includes two distinct logical sub-networks each having a subset of the multiple computing nodes and being separated by a first of the one or more specified networking devices, wherein the first computing node is part of a first of the two logical sub-networks and the second computing node is part of a second of the two logical sub-networks, and wherein the forwarding of the one communication over the substrate network from the first computing node to the second computing node includes directing the one communication to a location in the substrate network of the second computing node and modifying the one communication to emulate changes to the one communication that would be made by the first networking device if the first networking device was physically provided and physically forwarded the one communication.
