Managing access to logical objects in software defined networks

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium tangibly storing instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations comprising:

• upon receiving one or more requests, instantiate a front-end engine to initiate an access of one or more logical objects;
• in response to the initiation for the access, a back-end engine generating one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) communication ports including a corresponding one or more lock objects to lock the one or more logical objects;
• in response to receiving information including the one or more TCP communication ports, instantiating a network monitoring engine to monitor the locked one or more logical objects;
• and
• in response to the monitoring, the network monitoring engine determining whether:
• to retain the corresponding one or more lock objects on the locked one or more logical objects;
• or
• to release the corresponding one or more lock objects on the locked one or more logical objects.

A computer implemented method to determine whether to retain a lock or release the lock on logical objects in a software defined network, comprising:

• upon receiving one or more requests, initiating an access of one or more logical objects,
• in response to the initiation for the access, generating one or more transmission control protocol (TCP) communication ports including a corresponding one or more lock objects to lock the one or more logical objects;
• in response to receiving information including the one or more TCP communication ports, monitoring the locked one or more logical objects;
• and
• in response to the monitoring, determining whether:
• to retain the corresponding one or more lock objects on the locked one or more logical objects;
• or
• to release the corresponding one or more lock objects on the locked one or more logical objects.
