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 18):
The computer-readable storage medium of  claim 17  wherein the information received from the client is configuration information for the virtual computer network that specifies the one or more networking devices for the virtual computer network, wherein the one or more computing nodes from which the one or more routing communications are received are controlled by the client and perform functions that facilitate handling communications for at least part of the provided virtual computer network and send the one or more routing communications using a defined network routing protocol, wherein the providing of the configured virtual computer network without physically providing the one or more networking devices includes overlaying the virtual computer network on a distinct substrate network, wherein the forwarding of the multiple communications between the multiple computing nodes includes emulating functionality that would be provided by the one or more networking devices if the one or more networking devices were physically provided, and wherein the method further comprises, after the updating of the specified interconnections of the provided virtual computer network based on the network routing information included in the received one or more routing communications, forwarding the one or more additional communications between the multiple computing nodes over the substrate network in accordance with the updated specified interconnections.
