    摘要: A method may be provided to operate a forwarding element in a forwarding plane of a network including the forwarding plane and a control plane. The method may include receiving a packet through an input/output port of the forwarding element and attempting to match the packet with a flow table of the forwarding element. Responsive to the packet missing a match with the flow table, the forwarding element may attempt to match the packet with a shadow table of the forwarding element. Responsive to the packet matching with the shadow table, a new flow rule may be installed in the flow table based on a matching shadow rule from the shadow table. Related forwarding elements are also discussed.

    摘要: A method is implemented by a network device in a network for monitoring a segment of the network without direct access to an internal configuration or state of the segment. The method includes receiving a request to perform a monitoring task on a monitoring zone within the network. The monitoring zone includes a subset of network devices of the network. The monitoring zone has an ingress data path that carries ingress traffic into the monitoring zone and an egress data path that carries egress traffic out of the monitoring zone. The method further includes configuring the network to mirror the ingress traffic or the egress traffic to a configurable probe in the network and configuring the configurable probe to perform the monitoring task on the monitoring zone, where the configurable probe is configured to perform the monitoring task based on analysis of the mirrored ingress traffic or the mirrored egress traffic.
