Ethernet is pervasive. This is due in part to its ease of use. Equipment can be added to an Ethernet network with little or no manual configuration. Furthermore, Ethernet is self-healing in the event of equipment failure or removal. However, there are scenarios where a local event can lead to network-wide packet loss and congestion due to slow or faulty reconfiguration of the spanning tree. Moreover, in some cases the packet loss and congestion may persist indefinitely. To address these problems, we introduce the EtherFuse, a new device that can be inserted into an existing Ethernet to speed the reconfiguration of the spanning tree and prevent congestion due to packet duplication. EtherFuse is backward compatible and requires no change to the existing hardware, software, or protocols. We describe a prototype EtherFuse implementation and experimentally demonstrate its effectiveness. Specifically, we characterize how quickly it responds to network failures, its ability to reduce packet loss and duplication, and its benefits on the end-to-end performance of common applications.

Software Defined Network (SDN) paradigm has revolutionized the way enterprise networks are designed by separating the control and data plane. It introduces a programmable network architecture which enables rapid and open innovation in different network functions that are allowed to install flow rules in forwarding elements via protocols like OpenFlow. Packet processing also becomes easier due to availability of packet information across different layers. But all these benefits may turn into great challenges because of the use of some features in OpenFlow. One of them, the set_field feature is widely used by network functions like firewall, router, load balancer etc. to modify packet header while in transit. Like distributed firewall setup, where rule in one firewall may conflict with that of other, in SDN, if multiple controller is used for individual networks or subnetwork within an organization, then change in flow rule in one controller may conflict with flow rules in other controller. Un-monitored management of flow may cause packets to loop through switches in single or multiple network, adversely affecting the network performance. In this paper, we introduce a mechanism using a directed graph representation to detect forwarding rules that cause forwarding loop, direct or indirect flow violation in a distributed controller environment. This helps network administrators to avoid possible security breaches, network congestion or even complete network failure caused by misconfiguration in security policies in different subnetworks.

Software Defined Network (SDN) paradigm has revolutionized the way enterprise networks are designed by way of separating the control and data plane. It introduces a programmable network architecture which enables rapid and open innovation in different network functions that are allowed to install flow rules in forwarding elements via protocols like OpenFlow. Packet Processing also becomes easier and lucrative due to availability of packet information across different layers. But all these benefits may turn into great challenges because of the use of some features in OpenFlow itself. One of them, the set field feature is widely used by network functions like firewall, router, load balancer etc. to modify packet header while in transit. Un-monitored use of this feature may cause packets to loop through switches, adversely affecting the network performance. Also, different network functions may install flow rules that directly or indirectly may violate each other. In this paper, we introduce a graph based formalism to detect forwarding rules that cause forwarding loop, direct or indirect flow violation. This helps network administrators to avoid possible security breaches, network congestion or even complete network failure.
