ROUTING SWITCH DEVICE

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method and device for use by a routing switch device. In response to a determination to switch the routing switch device to switch from a conventional mode to an OpenFlow mode the following operations are performed. Table items of a forwarding table in the conventional mode are converted to flow table items in the OpenFlow mode. The converted flow table items are stored in a flow table of the routing switch device. Processing a received data packet based, at least in part, on the converted flow table items stored in the flow table.
