Abstract
Exemplary methods for controlling forwarding table performance include a first network device in a control plane determining a first performance requirement of a first forwarding table in a forwarding plane based on an overall performance requirement of a plurality forwarding tables in the forwarding plane. In one embodiment, in response to determining the first forwarding table in the forwarding plane can be generated to satisfy the first performance requirement, the methods include the first network device sending a first message that includes the first performance requirement to a second network device in the forwarding plane, causing the second network device to generate the first forwarding table that satisfies the first performance requirement. In one embodiment, the exemplary methods include the second network device generating the first forwarding table that satisfies the first performance requirement included in the first message.
