    8590The service reply will probably communicate a service type (topology, network storage, etc.) and a location to find it, such as port on a datapath where a NAS is located (if network storage). This is basically a way for the network to advertise location of services to topology-aware elements, as opposed to a server attached to a network doing the adverts for hosts.

    103108 5. '''''Use case.''''' A small setup of three switches, two hosts (one moving), and two tiers of controllers. The first tier may be a simple forwarding unit, and the second dictates a higher (protocol) layer logic - to keep it simple, authentication. The logical layout between the two tiers changes behaviors of the tiers:

    105109  1. Tier two connects to just one tier one controller: the connection point must communicate the higher-tier's commands to others in its tier.
    106110  2. Tier two connects to all tier one controllers: tier two in this case is a global 'overseer' that can actively coordinate, in this case, a handoff where permitted.
