Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage mediums that can allow for automatic re-routing of network traffic in software-defined networks. In some examples, instructions can be provided to network switches in a software-defined network to initially route network traffic along a first flow route. The instructions can further instruct the network switches to automatically re-route the network traffic along a second flow route at a later time.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to use of a network controller to determine or create a network port profile for a virtual machine snapshot. In one example, the network controller receives a request from a virtual machine manager to create a network port profile for a virtual machine associated with a virtual machine identifier. In the example, a network port profile is created based on the virtual machine identifier. In the example, the network port profile includes port information about a virtual machine port associated with the virtual machine identifier, a virtual switch associated with the virtual machine port, and a physical switch port associated with the virtual switch.
