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 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the change to the configuration of the plurality of the one or more data delivery devices of the software-defined network includes one or a combination selected from a group consisting of: an addition of a data delivery device from a topology of the software-defined network, a removal of a data delivery device from a topology of the software-defined network.
