| 399 | DIMACS SDN workshop - realization that the basic architecture needs to be re-thought, starting again with the control plane messages. Time most spent on making posters, short writeup for IAB. |

| 402 | Reworked concept work for the control messaging. Subscriptions are in terms of events, process chain action, and subset of events. The subscription request from the server may be thought of as client configurations, in which the server configures the client to cater to its needs (and in turn, so that the client may receive its services. |

| 404 | Thought was also put into the notion of autoconfiguration, in which the controllers discover other controllers by themselves, as opposed to being preconfigured through a file. References for this process included UPnP, although this becomes potentially very complicated. Using broadcast as the default behavior also compromises a good bit of the initial design, as the hierarchy had used the point-to-point TCP connections in order to maintain context as messages were passed between controllers (albeit poorly). |
