Abstract
An open networking routing system includes at least one forwarding element, and a control element communicatively coupled to the forwarding element(s). In one embodiment, the control element is equipped with a route cache manager to receive notification of a routing table update in the control element, and facilitate notification of the routing table update to at least one functional component within the control element and forwarding element(s) in a coordinated manner to maintain routing coherency between the control element and forwarding element(s).
