    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention provide novel methods for providing a stateful service at a network edge device (e.g., an NSX edge) that has a plurality of north-facing interfaces (e.g., interfaces to an external network) and a plurality of corresponding south-facing interfaces (e.g., interfaces to a logical network). A set of interfaces on each side of the network edge device for a set of equal cost paths, in some embodiments, are bonded together in the network edge device to correspond to a single interface on either side of a logical bridge including at least one logical switch providing a stateful service implemented by the network edge device. The bond is implemented, in some embodiments, by a bonding module executing on the network edge device that maintains a mapping between ingress and egress interfaces to allow deterministic forwarding through the network edge device in the presence of bonded interfaces.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for using virtual tunnel interface teaming to achieve load balance and redundancy in virtual private networks (“VPNs”) is disclosed. In an embodiment, a method comprises: receiving, by a gateway, configuration data from a control plane; based on the configuration data, configuring on the gateway a bonded virtual tunnel interface (“bonded VTI”) having a plurality of slave virtual tunnel interfaces (“slave VTIs”); configuring a plurality of VPN tunnels between the plurality of slave VTIs configured on the gateway and a plurality of slave VTIs configured on a remote gateway; configuring an IPsec VPN tunnel between the bonded VTI configured on the gateway and a corresponding bonded VTI configured on the remote gateway; logically combining the plurality of VPN tunnels into the IPsec VPN tunnel; and enabling communications of IPsec VPN traffic via the IPsec VPN tunnel.
