Scalable resilience for Software-Defined Networking using Loop-Free Alternates with loop detection

In this paper we propose a novel resilience scheme for OpenFlow-based Software-Defined Networking (SDN). To forward packets in line speed, OpenFlow switches store their flow tables in expensive, limited TCAM due to which the stored tables cannot be large.Most resilience mechanisms require additional entries thus the implementation in OpenFlow may quickly exceed the available TCAM.
