Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for a network controller in a network control system that manages a plurality of logical networks. The method receives a specification of a logical network that comprises a logical router with a logical port that connects to an external network. The method selects several host machines to host a L3 gateway that implements the connection to the external network for the logical router from a set of host machines designated for hosting logical routers. The method generates data tuples for provisioning a set of managed forwarding elements that implement the logical network to send data packets that require processing by the L3 gateway to the selected host machines. The data tuples specify for the managed forwarding elements to distribute the data packets across the selected host machines.

Claim (Index 22):
A non-transitory machine readable medium for storing a network controller program that when executed by a set of processing units of a computer manages a plurality of logical networks, a network controller program comprising sets of instructions for:\n receiving a specification of a logical network that comprises a logical router; selecting a plurality of host machines to host an L3 gateway that implements a connection to an external network for the logical router, the plurality of host machines selected from a set of host machines designated for hosting logical routers; and generating data tuples for provisioning a set of managed forwarding elements that implement the logical network to send data packets that require processing by the L3 gateway to the plurality of selected host machines, wherein the data tuples specify for the managed forwarding elements to distribute the data packets across the plurality of selected host machines in a load balanced manner.
