Abstract
Some embodiments provide a novel method for dynamically deploying gateways for a first network connecting machines. The first network includes segments, routers, and a first gateway that connects to an external network. The method identifies a set of two or more segments that consumes more than a threshold amount of bandwidth of the first gateway. The identified set includes at least first and second segments. The method identifies one or more segment groups by aggregating two or more segments in the identified set. A first segment group includes the first and second segments and a third segment that is not in the identified set of two or more segments. The method configures a second gateway to process flows associated with each identified group including the first group. The method configures a set of routers to forward flows from machines of each segment of each identified group to the second gateway.
