Abstract
A forwarding engine of a fleet of forwarding engines forwards packets received from outside a provider network via a direct physical link to a resource within the provider network. A virtual router of a fleet of virtual routers obtains routing metadata from a client-side networking device outside the provider network via a routing information exchange protocol and transmits the routing metadata to the forwarding engine, which uses the metadata to forward the packets. In response to a first trigger, the number of forwarding engines in the fleet is modified. In response to a second trigger, the number of virtual routers in the fleet is modified.
