A controller for managing several managed switching elements that forward data in a network is described. The controller includes an interface for receiving input logical control plane data in terms of input events data. The controller includes a converter for converting the input logical control plane data to output logical forwarding plane data by processing the input events data. The logical forwarding plane data is for subsequent translation into physical control plane data. The controller includes an input scheduler for (1) categorizing the input events data into different groups based on certain criteria and (2) supplying the input events data into the converter in a manner that each different group of input events data is processed separately by the converter.
A controller for managing a plurality of managed switching elements that forward data in a network, the controller 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:
