Abstract: For a virtual distributed network environment employing physical forwarding elements that includes both software forwarding elements and third party devices serving as hardware forwarding elements, a scalable method for synchronizing configuration data of logical forwarding elements that are distributed across the various physical forwarding elements is provided. The method generates and updates the configuration data at a set of central controllers and then distributes the configuration data to the physical forwarding elements. The method delivers the updated configuration data to some of the physical forwarding elements by (i) determining a delta/differential between the updated configuration data held at the central controller and the obsolete configuration data held at those physical forwarding elements and (ii) delivering the determined differential configuration data to the physical forwarding elements.

Abstract: A capacitive touch screen, having a first transparent substrate provided with a touch circuit layer. The touch circuit layer is provided with first and second electrodes and a jumper portion. The touch screen is further provided with an insulating layer. The insulating layer is continuously disposed in an entire transparent touch area of the touch screen, and is provided with through holes at the jumper portion to form a jumper connection of the second electrode. The touch screen further includes a shielding layer sandwiched between the first transparent substrate and the touch circuit layer, and contains multiple shielding blocks. The shielding blocks correspond to the through holes, and the contours of the shielding blocks are formed by expanding the contours of the through holes outwards. The capacitive touch screen can effectively reduce side light reflection on an edge slope of the insulating layer, thereby avoiding interference with display.
