1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for deploying edge forwarding elements in a software defined datacenter (SDDC), the program for execution by at least one processing unit, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
deploying, for an entity, a default first edge forwarding element to process data message flows between machines in a first network of the SDDC and machines external to the first network of the SDDC;
receiving a request to allocate more bandwidth to a first set of the data message flows entering or exiting the first network of the SDDC; and
deploying, for the entity, a second edge forwarding element to process the first set of data message flows in order to allocate more bandwidth to the first set of the data message flows, while continuing to process a second set of data message flows through the default first edge forwarding element.
