Abstract
A packet transmission system is provided that includes packet switching modules each having a memory unit to store packet flow tables and a control module coupled to the packet switching modules. The control module includes a memory to store computer executable commands and a processor. The process executes the commands to perform the operations outlined below. A flow entry corresponding to a target packet switching module is generated. A residual memory amount of the memory unit of the target packet switching module is determined to be lower than a threshold value. A redirection packet switching module is selected from the other packet switching modules. A redirection flow entry is added to the packet flow tables in the target packet switching module and a processing flow entry is added to the packet flow tables in the redirection packet switching module according to the flow entry.
