Abstract:
A controller of a software-define network receives a notification of a change to a configuration of data delivery devices of the network. In response, the controller determines whether flows of respective flow tables of the data delivery devices are affected by accessing flow mappings maintained in a memory of the controller. The respective flow tables of the data delivery devices affected by the configuration change include a pattern of information fields and actions that corresponds to a pattern of information fields and actions of the flow mappings in the memory of the controller. The controller sends instructions to the affected data delivery devices to perform an asynchronous activity on the respective flow tables that includes a cleanup of the flows of the respective flow tables of the affected data delivery devices, performed in repetitive sweeps of the one or more data delivery devices, until completion of the cleanup.

Claim (Index 12):
The computer program product of  claim 10 , wherein the cleanup includes one or more actions selected from the group of: removal of the one or more flows from the respective flow tables of at least one of the one or more data delivery devices affected as a result of removal of a data delivery device from the software-defined network, addition of one or more flows to the respective flow tables of the one or more delivery devices affected as a result of addition of a delivery device to the software-defined network, modification of one or more flows to the respective flow tables of the one or more data delivery devices affected as a result of changes to an Internet Protocol (IP) or media access control (MAC) address of a delivery device of the software-defined network.
