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 2):
The network of  claim 1 , wherein the source-routing message header further includes a hop count that is incremented by each forwarding element along the message's path and that is used by each forwarding element along the message's path to identify the egress port associated with the forwarding element.
