• The VMware NSX distributed logical router provides support of both control plane and data plane functions of routing protocols (OSPF, BGP) with a primary focus on the East-West traffic.

• VMware Cloud Providers can leverage distributed logical routing functionality to address the scale requirements for routed interfaces and optimize the East/West networking traffic within the data center. The provider can also run dynamic routing protocols between the distributed logical router and the NSX Edge router of external physical routing devices.
