Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a network control system, a method for managing traffic flow in a distributed controller environment includes stamping a packet to be forwarded between data forwarding units with flow control information based on an action set associated with a flow entry pushed by a logical controller. The packet is stamped by one or more of the data forwarding units. The flow control information is used to forward the packet between data forwarding units, thereby defining a datapath packet flow.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A network control system, comprising: a plurality of logical controllers, wherein each logical controller is configured to push a flow entry to one or more data forwarding units, wherein the flow entry is associated with a set of actions for forwarding a data packet; a data forwarding unit of the one or more data forwarding units that stamps flow control information to the data packet based on the set of actions, wherein each of the one or more data…
