Abstract
Systems and methods for maintaining order consistency for asynchronous writes in a network device. In one embodiment, a method includes issuing, by a feature agent of a network device, a plurality of writes to software tables which may be contained in the feature agent. For each write, a corresponding entry is added to a log associated with the software tables, the log entry identifying an order of the write among the plurality of writes. A hardware agent accesses the log to select a next one of the entries in the identified write order and then accesses the software table to retrieve content identified by the selected log entry. The hardware agent then translates the information from the software table to a different form if necessary and writes the information to one or more hardware tables that are indicated by the write associated with the selected log entry.
