A method is performed by a network device for performing controller-specific output actions. The network device is coupled to a plurality of controllers in a software defined network. The method includes receiving a controller identifier advertisement from a controller of the plurality of controllers, associating the controller identifier with a communication channel to the controller, generating a flow entry that includes a packet matching criteria and an output action that specifies the controller identifier, receiving a packet, determining whether the packet matches the packet matching criteria of the flow entry, and upon determining that the packet matches the packet matching criteria of the flow entry, determining the communication channel associated with the controller identifier specified by the output action of the flow entry and transmitting the packet to the controller via the communication channel. |
