Methods for managing transaction in software defined network

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods for managing transactions in a software defined network (SDN). A method performed in a controller may comprise generating a group message for modifying flow entries of a plurality of flow tables related to each other in a switch; and transmitting the group message to the switch. Thus, a plurality of flow tables having relevance to each other can be simultaneously modified so that modifications on a plurality of switches can be synchronized, and consistency of them can be guaranteed.
