Abstract
A computer implemented method for controlling a device on a software defined network (SDN) in response to environmental data. The method comprises receiving environmental data. A master SDN controller is provided for controlling the SDN network. Control data is generated by the master SDN controller in response to the environmental data. A co-controller is generated by the master SDN controller containing the control data. The co-controller is dispatched to the device for residing thereon. The device is controlled in response to the control data.
Claims24
A computer implemented method for controlling a device on a software defined network (SDN) in response to environmental data;
- the method comprising:
- receiving environmental data;
- providing a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network;
- generating control data by the master SDN controller in response to the environmental data;
- generating a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing the control data;
- dispatching the co-controller to the device by master SDN controller for residing thereon;
- and
- controlling the device in response to the control data.
A network controller for a software defined network (SDN), the network controller comprising one or more modules operable to:
- receive environmental data;
- providing a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network;
- generating control data by the master SDN controller in response to the environmental data;
- generating a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing the control data;
- dispatching the co-controller to the device for residing thereon;
- and
- controlling the device in response to the control data.
An article of manufacture comprising a processor-readable medium having embodied therein executable program code that when executed by the processing device causes the processing device to perform:
- receive environmental data;
- providing a master SDN controller for controlling the SDN network;
- generating control data by the master SDN controller in response to the environmental data;
- generating a co-controller by a master SDN controller containing the control data;
- dispatching the co-controller to the device for residing thereon;
- and
- controlling the device in response to the control data.
