29 Improving the Controller Interface Benefits of our approach Enables SDN applications to gauge flow instantiation time: if control message is accepted by interface it will become active after a predefined maximum time adapt message generation rate by querying processing rate and currently available number of tokens for each connected switch TB mechanism allows us to reserve part of switch service for high priority control messages Simple extension which does not alter current SDN architecture Service curve parameters may be stored in database or exchanged as part of control connection handshake (feature response) Z.
