Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus for provisioning a network device are disclosed. In one aspect, a message is received by a translation device from a controller. A determination is made, by the translation device, that the received message includes data that is destined for multiple different downstream network devices. A determination is made that a first downstream network device among the multiple different downstream network devices is incapable of being provisioned using a communications protocol of the received message. Data from the received message, that is destined for the first downstream network device, is translated, by the translation device, from the communications protocol of the received message to a translated message defined in a different protocol that is required to provision the first downstream network device. The translated message is transmitted, by the translation device, to the first downstream network device according to the different protocol.

Claim (Index 19):
The telecommunications system of  claim 17 , wherein the message is an OpenFlow message and the multiple different downstream network devices include at least one downstream OpenFlow network device, the operations further comprising transmitting the OpenFlow message received from the controller device to each downstream OpenFlow network device without translating the OpenFlow message to a protocol different than an OpenFlow protocol.
