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 17):
A computer-readable storage medium whose contents configure a computing system to perform a method, the method comprising:\n under control of the configured computing system, receiving information from a client for use in configuring a virtual computer network for the client, the configuring including specifying interconnections between multiple computing nodes of the virtual computer network, the specified interconnections including one or more networking devices of the virtual computer network; and automatically providing the configured virtual computer network without physically providing the one or more networking devices, the providing of the virtual computer network including forwarding multiple communications between the multiple computing nodes in accordance with the specified interconnections and in a manner that would be performed by the one or more networking devices if the one or more networking devices were physically provided, the providing of the virtual computer network further including:\n receiving one or more routing communications that are each directed to at least one of the one or more networking devices and include network routing information for the virtual computer network, the one or more routing communications being sent by one or more of the multiple computing nodes; and \n updating the specified interconnections of the provided virtual computer network based on the network routing information included in the received one or more routing communications to enable one or more additional communications to be forwarded between the multiple computing nodes in accordance with the updated specified interconnections.
