Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method of forwarding data messages between source and destination host computers that execute source and destination machines. At a source computer on which a source machine for a data message flow executes, the method in some embodiments identifies a source tunnel endpoint group (TEPG) associated with the source machine. For the flow, the method selects one TEP of the TEPG as the source TEP. The method then uses the selected source TEP to forward the flow to the destination computer on which the destination machine executes.
