INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR VISUALIZING FLOW DATA IN A PROGRAMMABLE NETWORK SWITCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17751780 titled 'INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR VISUALIZING FLOW DATA IN A PROGRAMMABLE NETWORK SWITCH

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a computing device that can receive flow data from one or more flow tables in a programmable network switch. The device can then generate a graphical user interface that shows the relationships between recirculation operations defined in the flow data.

  • The computing device receives flow data from flow tables in a programmable network switch.
  • It generates a graphical user interface that displays the relationships between recirculation operations.
  • The graphical user interface includes a directed graph with nodes representing the recirculation operations.
  • Directed links in the graph specify the sequential order in which the recirculation operations are applied to data packets.
  • Each node in the graph corresponds to a specific recirculation operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing device can receive flow data from one or more flow tables for a programmable network switch. The computing device can also generate, based on the flow data, a graphical user interface showing relationships between recirculation operations defined in the flow data. The graphical user interface can include a directed graph having nodes representing the recirculation operations. The graphical user interface can also include directed links specifying a sequential order in which the recirculation operations are to be applied to data packets by the programmable network switch. Each of the nodes can correspond to a respective recirculation operation among the recirculation operations.
