Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the communications field, and specifically, to a flow table processing method and an apparatus. The method includes: monitoring, by a switch, a flow table load of the switch; when the flow table load of the switch exceeds a preset threshold, determining, by the switch, a diffusion target of a target data flow according to a matching rule of a diffusive flow table; and when the determined diffusion target is a neighboring switch of the switch, forwarding, by the switch, the target data flow to the neighboring switch. When the flow table load of the switch exceeds the preset threshold, the switch may have been attacked. A data flow that fails to be matched to a flow entry is forwarded to the neighboring switch according to a diffusion probability, for processing by the neighboring switch.

Claim (Index 13):
The method according to  claim 12 , wherein the determining, by the controller, a weight of each forwarding path according to the connection relationship between the multiple switches and the flow table load of each switch of the multiple switches comprises:\n determining, by the controller, each forwarding path according to the connection relationship between the multiple switches; determining, by the controller, switches comprised by each forwarding path; and determining, by the controller, the weight of each forwarding path according to a flow table load of a target switch on each forwarding path, wherein the target switch is a switch on the forwarding path for receiving a data flow.
