Abstract:
A network element dynamically adjusts the forwarding plane based on a received packet. The network element receives a packet that is formatted according to a packet type. The network element determines whether the network element is configured to process the packet type. Responsive to a determination that that network element is not configured to process the packet type, the network element sends packet information to a network controller. The network element receives at least one packet handling module that includes instructions for processing the packet type of the received packet. Installing the at least one packet handling module on the network element configures the network element to process the packet type. The network element processes the packet according to the instructions in the at least one packet handling module.

Claim (Index 13):
A system comprising:\n a network controller; and a network element configured to:\n receive a packet formatted according to a packet type; \n determine whether the network element is configured to process the packet type; \n responsive to a determination that the network element is not configured to process the packet type, send packet information to the network controller; \n receive from the network controller, at least one packet handling module including instructions for processing the packet type of the packet; \n install the at least one packet handling module enabling the network element to process the packet type; and \n process the packet according to the instructions in the at least one packet handling module; and \n the network controller configured to:\n receive the packet information from the network element; \n determine the packet type from the packet information; \n choose at least one packet handling module that includes instructions for processing the packet type; and \n send the at least one packet handling module to the network element.
