Switch Diffs

Diffing is the process of comparing the OESS’s expected state of the network against the actual network. This happens on a regular interval.

Diffing for NETCONF enabled devices is similar to diffing for OpenFlow enabled devices, except that in some cases a user must influence the diffing behavior; This occurs when the size of a diff exceeds a preconfigured threshold. In these cases an administrator must navigate to the Config Changes section of the admin interface, and manually approve the diff for the nodes marked Pending Approval.
