Original Abstract Submitted
Some embodiments provide a novel method for forwarding data messages between first and second host computers. To send, to a first machine of the first host, a second flow from a second machine of the second host in response to a first flow from the first machine, the method identifies from a set of tunnel endpoints (TEPs) of the first host a TEP that is a source TEP of the first flow. The method uses the identified TEP to identify one non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node of a set of NUMA nodes of the first host as the NUMA node associated with the first flow. The method selects, from a subset of TEPs of the first host that is associated with the identified NUMA node, one TEP as a destination TEP of the second flow. The method sends the second flow to the selected TEP of the first host.
