Abstract:
In some examples, a network controller includes a flow repository and a consistency verification engine. The flow repository may store a dataflow configuration previously specified by an application. The consistency verification engine may access the dataflow configuration from the flow repository, retrieve flow table entries from a flow table of a network device, identify an inconsistency between the dataflow configuration previously specified by the application and the flow table entries of the network device, and respond to the identified inconsistency.

Claim (Index 14):
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:\n maintain a flow repository that stores dataflow configurations of multiple applications, the dataflow configurations previously specified by the multiple applications; receive a consistency verification request from a first application of the multiple applications, but not from a second application of the multiple applications; perform a dataflow consistency verification for the first application by:\n retrieving a particular dataflow configuration previously specified by the first application; \n retrieving flow table entries from a flow table of a network device; \n identifying whether an inconsistency is present between the particular dataflow configuration previously specified by the first application and the flow table entries of the network device; and \n when the inconsistency is present, responding to the identified inconsistency; and \n determine not to perform a dataflow consistency verification for the second application.
