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 8):
A method comprising:\n through a network controller:\n maintaining a flow repository that stores dataflow configurations of multiple applications, the dataflow configurations previously specified by the multiple applications; \n performing a dataflow consistency verification for a particular application among the multiple applications by:\n retrieving a dataflow configuration previously specified by the particular application from the flow repository; \n retrieving flow table entries from a flow table of a network device; \n identifying whether an inconsistency is present between the dataflow configuration previously specified by the particular application and the flow table entries of the network device; and \n when the inconsistency is present, responding to the identified inconsistency.
