Abstract
A technique for buffering packets in a Software Defined Networking (SDN) infrastructure is disclosed. A method implementation of the technique is performed by an SDN network device and comprises receiving (S) a configuration message from an SDN controller, the configuration message defining at least one characteristic characterizing packets to be buffered, receiving (S) a packet, triggering (S) inserting the packet into a buffer if the packet matches the at least one characteristic, and triggering (S) sending a notification message to the SDN controller notifying the SDN controller that the packet is inserted into the buffer.
