Hello, In OpenFlow 1.3 and later the Table Features message is bidirectional. The controller can use this message to request a new pipeline (set of new tables) from the switch. Also, there is ongoing work in ONF on Table Type Patterns (TTPs) [1]. These are predefined pipelines that the controller and switch can negotiate before starting the OpenFlow channel.
Comparing these in their current state I think TTPs are more mature; also TTPs provide additional information on the tables that the switch can use for optimized table implementations.
