Secure and Reliable Network Updates

Abstract

Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) enables dynamic network policy control over a large distributed network via network updates . To be practical, network updates must be consistent (i.e., free of transient errors caused by updates to multiple switches), secure (i.e., only be executed when sent from valid controllers), and reliable (i.e., function despite the presence of faulty or malicious members in the control plane), while imposing only minimal overhead on controllers and switches.
