Abstract
Example methods and systems for routing domain computation are described. In one example, a computer system may assign multiple logical entities with respective routing domain identifiers (IDs) by processing network topology information using multiple compute nodes. In response to detecting a network topology change associated with a particular logical entity, the computer system may determine first state change information identifying a first update to first state information maintained by a first compute node; and second state change information identifying a second update to second state information maintained by a second compute node. Further, the particular logical entity with an updated routing domain ID based on the first state change information and the second state change information. The updated routing domain ID may be used in a communication between a management entity and host(s) supporting the particular logical entity.
