Consistent updates in software defined networks: On dependencies, loop freedom, and blackholes
2016
2016 IFIP Networking Conference (IFIP Networking) and Workshops
We consider the problem of finding efficient methods to update forwarding rules in Software Defined Networks (SDNs). While the original and updated set of rules might both be consistent, disseminating the rule updates is an inherently asynchronous process, resulting in potentially inconsistent states. We highlight the inherent trade-off between the strength of the consistency property and the dependencies it imposes among rule updates at different switches; these dependencies fundamentally
