Abstract

See full text

A network switching device has a hardware data plane including a macroflow sub-plane that performs packet-based routing in the network switching device, and a microflow sub-plane that performs flow-based routing in the network switching device. The network switching device receives a packet-based routing rule from a software defined networking (SDN) controller, provides the packet-based routing rule to the macroflow sub-plane, receives a flow-based routing rule from the SDN controller, and provide the flow-based routing rule to the microflow sub-plane.
