1. A method for a controller application executing on a host computer, the method comprising:
- receiving data tuples defining first and second logical forwarding elements (LFEs);
based on the received data tuples defining the first LFE, generating data for a managed forwarding element (MFE) that executes on the host computer to implement the first LFE;
based on the received data tuples defining the second LFE, generating data for the MFE to implement the second LFE; and
configuring the MFE with the generated data to implement the first and second LFEs.

Abstract
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program that configures managed forwarding elements to establish tunnels between the managed forwarding elements is described. From a particular managed forwarding element, the program receives information regarding coupling of a network element to the first managed forwarding element. Upon receiving the information, the program generates a set of universal flow entries for configuring another managed forwarding element to establish a tunnel to the particular managed forwarding element.

11. A machine-readable medium storing a controller application for execution by at least one processing unit of a host computer, the controller application comprising sets of instructions for:
-
receiving data tuples defining first and second logical forwarding elements (LFEs); based on the received data tuples defining the first LFE, generating data for a managed forwarding element (MFE) that executes on the host computer to implement the first LFE; based on the received data tuples defining the second LFE, generating data for the MFE to implement the second LFE; and configuring the MFE with the generated data to implement the first and second LFEs. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
