Abstract:
In one embodiment, the method includes instructing, by a controller, a switch to change from sending data via a first tunnel to sending data via a second tunnel. The first tunnel is between the switch and a first network element, and the second tunnel is between the switch and a second network element. The method further includes receiving, by the controller, acknowledgement from the switch, and notifying, by the controller, the second network element that packets will no longer be sent via the first tunnel in response to the received acknowledgement.
