HYBRID CONTROL/DATA PLANE FOR PACKET BROKERING ORCHESTRATION

摘要

A system for configuring one or more flows of captured data packets through a hybrid communication network is provided. The system includes first and second segments of the hybrid communication network. The first segment includes a stacked topology of communicatively coupled plurality of network captured traffic distribution devices. The second segment includes one or more OpenFlow switches configured for an OpenFlow protocol. The system also includes a management server communicatively coupled to the first and second segments of the hybrid communication network. The management server includes logic adapted to configure one or more data flows of captured data packets with respect to forwarding the captured data packets between the first and second segments of the hybrid communication network.
