Abstract
A system provisions global logical entities that facilitate the operation of logical networks that span two or more datacenters. These global logical entities include global logical switches that provide L2 switching as well as global routers that provide L3 routing among network nodes in multiple datacenters. The global logical entities operate along side local logical entities that are for operating logical networks that are local within a datacenter.
