1. For a network controller for managing hosts in a network, a method for configuring a host to resolve network addresses, the method comprising:
- configuring an address resolution module in a host to resolve a network address; and
configuring a managed forwarding element in the host to (i) avoid sending a request to resolve the network address to another host by using the address resolution module to resolve the network address and (ii) forward packets using the resolved network address.

14. A computer configured as a first host for managing network traffic to route, the computer comprising:
-
a set of processing units; an address resolution module for execution by at least one processing unit in the set of processing units, the address resolution module configured to resolve a network address; and a software forwarding element for execution by at least one processing unit in the set of processing units, the software forwarding element configured to (i) use the address resolution module to resolve the network address without sending a request to resolve the network address to another host and (ii) forward packets using the resolved network address. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
