Performing logical network functionality within data compute nodes
Some embodiments provide a method for a first managed forwarding element operating within a first data compute node (DCN) that executes on a host machine. From the first DCN, the method receives a packet destined for a second DCN that is logically connected to the first DCN through a set of logical forwarding elements of a logical network. The method performs forwarding processing on the packet in order to (i) identify a particular logical forwarding element in the set of logical forwarding elements, a logical port of which is coupled to the second DCN, and (ii) identify a second managed forwarding element that implements the logical port of the particular logical forwarding element. The method forwards the packet to the second managed forwarding element.
