Abstract
In some examples, a network controller includes a flow repository and a consistency verification engine. The flow repository may store a dataflow configuration previously specified by an application. The consistency verification engine may access the dataflow configuration from the flow repository, retrieve flow table entries from a flow table of a network device, identify an inconsistency between the dataflow configuration previously specified by the application and the flow table entries of the network device, and respond to the identified inconsistency.
