Abstract
Techniques for a network controller to manage its data path dynamically in a data network. The techniques include causing the network controller to enter a first state, wherein the first state is associated with first processing rules for processing usage data. The network controller receives first usage data from one or more network devices associated with the data network, processes the first usage data according to the first processing rules. Further, the network controller may detect an event associated with transitioning the network controller to a second state, which cause the network controller to transition from the first state into a second state, wherein the second state is associated with second processing rules for processing the usage data. Moreover, the network controller receives second usage data from the one or more network devices, and processes the second usage data according to the second processing rules.
