A virtual switch in the solution saves a flow entry as an aging flow entry deleted from a flow table in a switch, and receives a reporting data packet generated according to a forwarding data packet when the forwarding data packet fails to match each flow entry in the flow table in the switch and a secure channel between the switch and the controller is faulty, delivers an aging flow entry matching the reporting data packet from an aging flow table to the switch, where the aging flow table includes one or more flow entries that are deleted as aging flow entries from a flow table in the switch.

Abstract: A power supply system uses a DC-DC power converter (28) for supplying an output load. A compensation circuit (40) is connected between the input to the DC-DC converter and the output of the DC-DC converter and it provides a compensating path in response to a voltage drop at the output of the DC-DC converter caused by a surge in the output load. The power supply system further comprises a low drop out regulator (30) as the output load, which low drop out regulator (30) having an input connected to the DC-DC power converter and the compensation circuit, and an output connected to an output terminal (C) for connection to a further output load. This enables the DC-DC power converter to have a low current capability, because a large current demand can be met by the DC supply to the DC-DC converter.
