Abstract:
For a multi-tenant environment, some embodiments of the invention provide a novel method for (1) embedding a specific path for a tenant's data message flow through a network in tunnel headers encapsulating the data message flow, and then (2) using the embedded path information to direct the data message flow through the network. In some embodiments, the method selects the specific path from two or more viable such paths through the network for the data message flow.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 2 ,\n wherein the forwarding elements along the selected path are connected through a plurality of tunnels that are used to forward data messages for a plurality of tenants, wherein the tenant identifier is included in the tunnel headers in order to allow multiple traffic-engineered paths of multiple tenants to use a same set of tunnels.
