Abstract
An electronic device is described. The electronic device includes a stack of computer network devices, such as a stack of switches and/or routers. This stack of computer network devices includes data planes and ports for directing packets or frames in a wireless network based at least in part on destinations of the packets or frames. Moreover, the electronic device may include multiple controllers (such as processors) that operate as master nodes and that perform network functions for the stack of computer network devices using a database. This database may include a common database that is accessible by the multiple controllers or multiple instances of the database in the multiple controllers, where the multiple instances of the database are synchronized.
