METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING DATA PACKET IN SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORK (SDN)

摘要

Disclosed is a method for the execution of a control device in a software defined network. The method comprises: a control device establishes a control channel with a switching device; the control device acquires an identifier of the control channel; the control device generates a flow table entry, wherein the flow table entry comprises a matching domain and the identifier of the control channel; and the control device sends the flow table entry to the switching device, wherein the flow table entry is used for instructing the switching device to send a data packet matching the matching domain to the control device via the control channel represented by the identifier of the control channel. Thus, the classification of a new flow is completed at a switching device side.
