    Abstract: Example implementations relate to network policy conflict detection and resolution. For example, a system for network policy conflict detection and resolution can include a policy compilation engine to compile a plurality of network policies based on an intent format, a conflict detection engine to detect a conflict between a first network policy among the plurality of network policies and a second network policy among the plurality of network policies, using the intent format, and a conflict resolution engine to resolve the detected conflict between the first network policy and the second network policy. Further, the system for network policy conflict detection and resolution can include a translation engine to translate the resolution of the detected conflict to a protocol-specific format.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to generating a packet processing pipeline definition. According to an example, an SDN controller includes a flow class module to receive flow class registrations specifying flow classes. The flow classes specify characteristics of expected network flows. The controller also includes a pipeline generating module to generate a packet processing pipeline definition to accommodate the expected network flows, the packet processing pipeline definition including table definitions for the flow classes. The SDN controller further includes a communication interface to send the packet processing pipeline definition to a switch.
