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 9):
The method of  claim 8  wherein, after the forwarding of the one communication over the substrate network, a third of the multiple computing nodes is configured to manage communications between a first group of one or more computing nodes and a second group of one or more other computing nodes in an indicated manner, wherein the first computing node is part of the first group and the second computing node is part of the second group, wherein the network routing information included in the received one or more routing communications identifies the third computing node as separating the first and second groups of computing nodes in the network topology of the first virtual computer network, wherein one of the additional communications is from the first computing node to the second computing node, and wherein the forwarding of the one additional communication over the substrate network from the first computing node to the second computing node includes directing the one additional communication to a location in the substrate network of the third computing node before providing the one additional communication to the second computing node to enable the third computing node to manage the one additional communication in the indicated manner.
