Claim 0:
1. A software defined networking (SDN) system for managing message flows within an SDN environment for providing delay tolerance for ad hoc reporting, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory having computer-executable instructions encoded therein, which, when executed by the processor, cause the SDN control system to:
receive first data having a synchronous portion and an asynchronous portion;
divert the asynchronous portion into a first message flow and the synchronous portion into a second message flow, wherein the second message flow is different from the first message flow;
request, for the first message flow, second data from a data store external to the SDN control system; and
determine whether the second data is present in a response to the request.
