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 7):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first instruction set comprises instructions to selectively discard packets forwarded to the redundant communication path and the second instruction set comprises instructions to selectively discard packets forwarded to the primary communication path.
