Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a novel method for installing flows of a desired network state in an actualized network state of a managed forwarding element. In some embodiments, the method maintains a flow output table based on flow events received from a computation engine for computing desired state, and from a set of managed forwarding elements on which the computed desired state is installed. The method of some embodiments then installs flows on the set of managed forwarding elements based on the flow output table.
