Title: Pontus Skoldstrom: Innovator in OpenFlow Network Technology
Introduction
Pontus Skoldstrom is a notable inventor based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has made significant contributions to the field of network technology, particularly in the area of OpenFlow networks. His innovative approach to link failure detection and traffic redirection has garnered attention in the tech community.
Latest Patents
Pontus holds a patent for "Link failure detection and traffic redirection in an OpenFlow network." This patent describes a method where failure detection and traffic redirection are implemented in an OpenFlow switch. Link failure detection packets, such as Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) packets, are periodically sent out on links to peer OpenFlow switches via the Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Transport Profile (MPLS-TP). The system monitors incoming link failure detection packets from peer OpenFlow switches. A link failure is detected if no incoming packets are received for a predetermined interval. In the event of a link failure, traffic is redirected from the failed link to a backup link by altering entries on the flow table of the OpenFlow switch. This innovation enhances the reliability and efficiency of network operations.
