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 17):
The computer system of  claim 15 , wherein the program instructions to receive the notification of the change to the configuration of the software-defined network is in response to determining a failure of a link of one or more ports of a first data delivery device of the plurality of data delivery devices of the software-defined network, and the cleanup includes performing a modification of the one or more flows included in the respective flow tables of the first data delivery device that is affected as a result of the failure of the link of the one or more ports of the first delivery device, based on alternate pattern and action information provided by a network service application.
