IDENTIFYING CONFIGURATION INCONSISTENCY IN EDGE-BASED SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS (SDN)

摘要

Identifying state inconsistency in edge-based software defined networks is disclosed. A verification server may receive controller network configuration data from a controller of an edge-based software defined network (SDN) and end-host network configuration data from at least one end-host of the SDN. The verification server may parse the controller network configuration data into a network state representation and the end-host network configuration data into the network state representation. The network state representation of the controller network configuration data and the end-host network configuration data may be compared to identify state inconsistency in the SDN. Responsive to identifying the state inconsistency, an alert and/or a report may be generated and transmitted to an administrator user interface.

1. A method of identifying state inconsistency in edge-based software defined networks, comprising:
receiving by a verification server, controller network configuration data from a controller of an edge-based software defined network (SDN); receiving by the verification server, end-host network configuration data from at least one end-host of the SDN; parsing by the verification server, the controller network configuration data into a network state representation; parsing by the verification server, the end-host network configuration data into the network state representation; comparing the network state representation of the controller network configuration data and the end-host network configuration data to identify state inconsistency in the SDN; and responsive to identifying the state inconsistency, generating and transmitting an alert signal to an administrator user interface.
