Hello, We are facing troubles in understanding the intricacies of open flow networks. 1. Our first query is regarding the various states of the controller (viz MASTER, EQUAL, SLAVE). What are the consequences of having multiple controllers in the equal state. Since they are allowed to modify the switches flow table, aren't they prone to incorrectly configure the flow table due to split brain? 2. Our second query is regarding the election process for choosing a master. The open flow spec mentions that the election is done by the controllers or a 3rd party on their behalf. How do the controllers know about the other controllers contending in the election? How is the generation_id distributed to all active controllers after the mastership election process?
Thanks in advance, Vinay kumar
