Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A controller for managing several managed switching elements that forward data in a network is described. The controller includes an interface for receiving input logical forwarding plane data in terms of input events data. The controller includes a converter for converting the input logical forwarding plane data to output physical control plane data by processing the input events data. The physical control plane data is for subsequent translation into physical forwarding plane data. The controller includes an input scheduler for (1) categorizing the input events data into different groups based on certain criteria and (2) supplying the input events data into the converter in a manner that each different group of input events data is processed separately by the converter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A controller computer for managing a plurality of managed forwarding elements that implement different logical networks, the controller computer comprising: an interface that receives input logical forwarding plane data in terms of input events, said input logical forwarding plane data comprising updates to logical forwarding planes of logical networks, wherein each logical network comprises a set of logical forwarding elements that is implemented by a set o…
