Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for an integrated network management and modification analysis system. At the integrated system, the method receives a proposed modification to configuration data for a logical network stored by the integrated system as a set of rules. Without implementing the proposed modification, the method analyzes changes to the rules that would occur based on the proposed modification. The method provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that indicates logical network entities affected by the proposed modification. In response to a command to implement the proposed modification, the method generates an updated set of rules at the integrated system and stores the updated set of rules for distribution to managed forwarding elements that implement the logical network.

Abstract: Techniques and architectures may be used to generate data center network topologies that use less reliable and less expensive links mixed with links of higher reliability. Such topologies may be categorized into reliability classes, where each class corresponds to a bound(s) on reliability of paths that include the links. A topology class may be selected for use by an application based, at least in part, on the degree of reliability demanded by the application.
