One-Pass In-Band Automatic Bootstrapping for OpenFlow Switches

An SDN switch newly added to a network needs to establish a control channel with an SDN controller to manage control-plane traffic. The setup of such a channel is termed bootstrapping. In the case of in-band control, bootstrapping involves setting up a control path that may traverse one or more swit...
