Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for updating packet processing rules of network devices. A request to update a first set of rules stored in the memory with a second set of rules is received. Upon determining the update from the first set of rules to the second set of rules satisfies a defined condition, the first set of rules in the memory is updated with the second set of rules. Upon determining the update from the first set of rules to the second set of rules does not satisfy the defined condition, the update from the first set of rules to the second set of rules is decomposed into a first set of operations and a second set of operations and the first set of rules in the memory are updated with the second set of rules.
