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 10):
The method of  claim 8  wherein the network routing information included in the received one or more routing communications identifies an additional networking device for the first virtual computer network that is indicated to separate the first and second 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 second computing node and modifying the one additional communication to emulate changes to the one additional communication that would be made by the additional networking device if the additional networking device was physically provided and physically forwarded the one additional communication.
