Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) SDN technology brings a programmable control of networks by implementing various type of configurations as SDN applications (SDN apps). We have been considering a system that deploys multi SDN apps in order to minimize developing software by reusing primitive apps. However, the system deploying multi SDN apps has a problem that is a conflict of flow entries among different SDN apps because of overlapping of network configurations. This paper proposes a novel method to detect conflicts among different SDN apps by flow entry level. This method has an advantage that conflicts can be discovered without sending test packets. In addition, we have implemented software using the proposed method, and confirmed availability by measuring its performance.
