Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a network that includes (i) multiple forwarding elements, (ii) a set of one or more global control plane (GCP) servers, and (iii) multiple end-node machines. The GCP servers maintain topological information about connections between the forwarding elements. Each of the end-node machines receives the topological information, identifies a source-routing path for a message sent by the machine, and embeds the source-routing path in a source-routing message header that includes an egress port for each forwarding element along the path.

Claim (Index 5):
The network of  claim 2 , wherein:\n the message header further includes a message type that specifies one of a plurality of message types including a forwarding type; and when a forwarding element receives the message, the forwarding element determines whether the message header specifies a forwarding type, and if so, the forwarding element transmits the message along its egress port identified by the hop count associated with the forwarding element so long as the message header specified an ingress port of the forwarding element for this hop count.
