    摘要: Use of a centralized control architecture in a network. Policy declaration, routing computation, and permission checks are managed by a logically centralized controller. By default, hosts on the network can only route to the network controller. Hosts and users must first authenticate themselves with the controller before they can request access to the network resources. The controller uses the first packet of each flow for connection setup. When a packet arrives at the controller, the controller decides whether the flow represented by that packet should be allowed. The switches use a simple flow table to forward packets under the direction of the controller. When a packet arrives that is not in the flow table, it is forwarded to the controller, along with information about which port the packet arrived on. When a packet arrives that is in the flow table, it is forwarded according to the controller's directive.

    摘要: Some embodiments provide a network system that includes several non-edge switching elements that are each for forwarding network data to other non-edge switching elements. The network system includes several edge switching elements that are each for (1) coupling to a set of network hosts and (2) forwarding network data to the non-edge switching elements and to the set of network hosts. Each of the non-edge switching elements of the several non-edge switching elements is further for forwarding network data to the several edge switching elements. The network system includes a set of network controllers for (1) receiving a definition of a logical switching element that couples to the sets of network hosts and (2) managing the several edge switching elements by configuring the several edge switching elements to forward network data between the sets of network hosts based on the definition of the logical switching element.

    摘要: A network control system that includes several controllers for managing several switching elements and a distributed hash table (DHT) formed across the controllers for storing data regarding the switching elements that is accessible by the controllers. Each hash table serves as a DHT instance. In some embodiments, the DHT instances of all controller instances collectively store one set of records that is indexed based on hashed indices for quick access. These records are distributed across the different controller instances to minimize the size of the records within each instance and to allow for the size of the DHT to be increased by adding other DHT instances. According to this scheme, each DHT record is not stored in each controller instance. In fact, in some embodiments, each DHT record is stored in at most one controller instance.
