Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The large bulk of packets/flows in future core networks will require a highly efficient header processing in the switching elements. Simplifying lookup in core network switching elements is capital to transport data at high rates and with low latency. Flexible network hardware combined with agile network control is also an essential property for future software-defined networking.  argue that only further decoupling beten the control and data planes will unlock the flexibility and agility in SDN for the design of new network solutions for core networks. This article proposes a new approach named KeyFlow to build a flexible network-fabricbased model. It replaces the table lookup in the forwarding engine by elementary operations relying on a residue number system. This provides us tools to design a stateless core network by still using OpenFlow centralized control. A proof of concept prototype is validated using the Mininet emulation environment and OpenFlow 1.0. The results indicate RTT reduction above 50 percent, especially for networks with densely populated flow tables. KeyFlow achieves above 30 percent reduction in keeping active flow state in the network.
