Abstract:
A controller node receives a list of a first plurality of flows programmed on a network switch. The controller node extracts a flow cookie value from a flow cookie data field of each flow in the first plurality of flows on the received list and calculates a session identifier on the basis of the extracted cookie values. At least one add flow command is transmitted from the controller node to the network switch to program a second plurality of flows on the network switch. The at least one add flow command comprises flow cookie values in the flow cookie data fields of each of the flows in the second plurality of flows which are set equal to the calculated session identifier. At least one delete flow command is transmitted from the controller node to the network switch to delete programming of the first plurality of flows on the network switch.

Claim (Index 19):
A system for use in synchronizing flows in a packet-switched network, the system comprising:\n at least one memory including computer program code; and at least one processor in data communication with the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to, at a controller node: receive a list of a first flows programmed on a network switch; extract a flow cookie value from each flow in the received list of programmed first flows; choose a session identifier having a value that is not the same as one of the extracted cookie values; transmit at least one add flow command to the network switch to program second flows on the network switch with flow cookie values equal to the session identifier; and transmit at least one delete flow command to the network switch to delete flows on the network switch having cookie values matching the extracted cookie values. wherein the flow cookie values of each of the first and second flows are not used to uniquely identify each flow in the first and second flows, and wherein each flow in the first and second flows is identified by a unique identifier, the unique identifier being distinct from the flow cookie value of the each flow in the first and second flows.
