Abstract:
The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods of monitoring communication devices and communication links in a software defined network (SDN). In one embodiment, a system may include a communications interface configured to receive a plurality of ingress packets. A forwarding subsystem may match a subset of the plurality of ingress packets with the data flow and forwarding the subset of the plurality of ingress packets based on a first instruction set associated with the data flow. A statistical information subsystem may update a meter count associated with the subset of the plurality of ingress packets matched with the data flow. A logic engine configured to determine that the meter count fails to satisfy a threshold, change a port link state based on the failure to satisfy the threshold; and transition from the first instruction set to a second instruction set associated with the flow data.

Claim (Index 1):
A system configured to monitor a data flow in a software defined network (SDN), the system comprising:\n a communications interface configured to receive a plurality of ingress packets; a forwarding subsystem configured to:\n match a subset of the plurality of ingress packets with the data flow; and \n forward the subset of the plurality of ingress packets based on a first instruction set associated with the data flow through a primary communication path; \n a statistical information subsystem configured to update a meter count associated with the subset of the plurality of ingress packets matched with the data flow; a logic engine configured to:\n determine that the meter count fails to satisfy a threshold; \n change a logical port state based on the failure to satisfy the threshold; and \n transition from the first instruction set to a second instruction set that corresponds to a redundant communication path based on the logical port state.
