DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OF FLOW TABLE CAPACITY

摘要

Examples relate to dynamic allocation of flow table capacity. In some examples, packet-in events of a networking device are monitored and processed to create active flow entries in a flow table. After detecting that the packet-in events at the networking device exceed an overload threshold, the active allocation of the flow table is increased. At this stage, a backup flow is removed from the flow table based on the active allocation.
