Reading Real-time Information On Switches

It is difficult to read the real-time information on flows installed on the switches managed by a controller. In addition, it is difficult to efficiently manage the Flow of a switch.

Solution Approach

Have developed the User Interface to represent the switch’s data in a legible and readable tables. The UI interface is enhanced with several functionalities like View, Search, and Delete in the interface.

Key functionalities

• Manage flows ( add, edit and delete flows )
• Graphical and Tabulated view of Flows with pagination
• Manage users
• Secure API ( re-usable in other application )
