Some embodiments provide a method for a first managed forwarding element that implements logical forwarding elements of a logical network. The method receives a first packet from a second managed forwarding element. The first packet includes context information that indicates a logical network destination that maps to a physical destination connected to the first managed forwarding element. At the first managed forwarding element, the method dynamically generates a flow entry for processing subsequent packets received by the first managed forwarding element from the physical destination and sent to a source of the first packet. The method processes a second packet received by the first managed forwarding element from the physical destination with the dynamically generated flow entry. The dynamically generated flow entry specifies to send the second packet to the second managed forwarding element before logically forwarding the second packet through the logical network.
