Processing a metric of a component of a SDN can include registering a unique identifier associated with the metric in storage of the SDN.

Processing a metric of a component of a software-defined network

A system comprises a processor, a network interface coupled to the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The network interface is configured to receive network status messages from a plurality of agents across a network. Each network status message indicates a status of a network. The storage comprises a plurality of queues with each queue corresponding to one of the agents. The network status messages from a given agent are stored in a queue corresponding to that agent pending processing by the processor. Upon a number of network status messages in a queue for a particular agent exceeding an agent high water mark, the processor sends a stop message through the network interface to such agent to cause such agent to cease sending network status messages.
