  • assigning a set of virtual machines on a particular private allocated network (PAN) to a set of host machines in a network of host machines, wherein a plurality of PANs are implemented within the network;

    generating, for each host machine of the set of host machines, a different addressing mode table that specifies, for a virtual switch on the host machine, rules for forwarding packets between virtual machines within the particular PAN, wherein the addressing mode table for a first host machine in the set specifies different rules for forwarding packets to a particular virtual machine in the PAN than the rules for forwarding packets to the particular virtual machine specified by the addressing mode table for a second host machine in the set; and

    distributing the generated addressing mode tables to the set of host machines in order for the host machines to forward packets between the virtual machines assigned to the particular PAN.
