  • 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 within the particular PAN, wherein the addressing mode table for a particular host in the set specifies a first rule for forwarding packets to a first virtual machine assigned to the particular PAN and a second, different rule for forwarding packets to a second virtual machine assigned to the particular PAN; 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.
