Abstract

Some embodiments provide a method for performing services for data messages associated with a machine executing on a particular host computer. On the particular host computer, the method configures (1) a first distributed forwarding element (DFE) to forward data messages sent by the machine based on network addresses specified by machine, and (2) a second DFE to forward data messages sent by the machine to a set of one or more other host computers on which a set of one or more service nodes before the data messages are returned to the particular host computer to be forwarded by the first DFE based on the network addresses specified by the machine. Each DFE is implemented by at least one software forwarding element executing (SFE) on the particular host computer and at least one other SFE executing on at least one other host computer.
