Claim 10:
11. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, flow data from one or more flow tables for a programmable network switch; and
generating, by the processor and based on the flow data, a graphical user interface showing relationships between recirculation operations defined in the flow data, the graphical user interface including a directed graph having a plurality of nodes representing the recirculation operations to be performed by the programmable network switch, each node of the plurality of nodes corresponding to a respective recirculation operation among the recirculation operations to be performed by the programmable network switch, wherein the recirculation operations involve reevaluating data packets on the programmable network switch, and wherein the directed graph also includes directed links between the plurality of nodes to specify a sequential order in which the recirculation operations are to be applied to the data packets by the programmable network switch.
