In produciton networks, 1) you have to take care of failure between a controller and switches. In general, switches continues to work with the existing installed flows. Then after the reestablishment, the application properly need to work. 2) A routing application, say bgp, you always have to take care of disconnection with a peer, e.g., use the backup network. So I don't see the benefit dynamic loading can provide. Of course, it needs lots of extra testings. I agree that dynamic loading is a fun feature though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
