Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for a first network controller that manages a set of logical forwarding elements implemented in several managed forwarding elements. The method receives a request to trace a specified packet having a particular source on a logical forwarding element. The method generates the packet according to the packet specification. The generated packet includes an indicator that the packet is for a trace operation. The method sends the packet to a second network controller that manages a managed forwarding element associated with the particular source. The method receives a first set of messages regarding operations performed on the packet from a set of network controllers that receives a second set of messages regarding operations performed on the packet from a set of managed forwarding elements that process the packet.

Claim (Index 40):
The non-transitory machine readable medium of  claim 37 , wherein the packet is a first packet, wherein generating the trace-observation data set is based on the trace indicator, the particular MFE further comprising sets of instructions for:\n receiving a second packet that does not comprise an indicator that the second packet is used for a trace operation; performing a logical forwarding operation on the second packet without generating any trace-observation data sets.
