Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a local network controller that manages a first managed forwarding element (MFE) operating to forward traffic on a host machine for several logical networks and configures the first MFE to forward traffic for a set of containers operating within a container virtual machine (VM) that connects to the first MFE. The local network controller receives, from a centralized network controller, logical network configuration information for a logical network to which the set of containers logically connect. The local network controller receives, from the container VM, a mapping of a tag value used by a second MFE operating on the container VM to a logical forwarding element of the logical network to which the set of containers connect. The local network controller configures the first MFE to apply the logical network configuration information to data messages received from the container VM that are tagged with the tag value.

Claim (Index 11):
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit configures a first MFE that operates on a container virtual machine (VM) to process packets from a set of containers operating on the container VM, the program comprising sets of instructions for:\n identifying a logical forwarding element to which the set of containers logically connect; receiving a tag value that maps to the logical forwarding element; and configuring the MFE operating on the container VM to tag data messages received from the containers with the tag value before sending the data messages to a second MFE, operating outside of the container VM, for logical processing.
