For a controller of a distributed network control system comprising several controllers for managing forwarding elements that forward data in a network, a method for managing the forwarding elements is described. The method changes a set of data tuples stored in a relational database of the first controller that stores data tuples containing data for managing a set of forwarding elements. The method sends the changed data tuples to at least one of other controllers of the network control system. The other controller receiving the changed data tuples processes the changed data tuples and sends the processed data tuples to at least one of the managed forwarding elements.
For a controller of a distributed network control system comprising a plurality of controllers for managing forwarding elements that forward data in a network, a method for managing the forwarding elements, the method comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium of a particular controller for a network control system that comprises a plurality of controllers for managing forwarding elements, each of the controllers having a relational database for storing data regarding at least a plurality of forwarding elements, the machine readable medium storing sets of instructions for execution by at least one processing unit, the sets of instructions for:
A network control system for managing managed forwarding elements that forward data in a network, the system comprising:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit manages a plurality of managed switching elements that forward data through a network, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
