Packet output controlling method and network device using same
Disclosed are a packet output controlling method and a network device using the same. A packet output controlling method according to the present invention, as a method for processing flow in a plurality (N, where N is a natural number of 2 or greater) of flow tables connected by a pipeline, may comprise the steps of: passing a packet input into a flow from a first table to an N−1st table from among a plurality of tables; processing an output-dedicated Nth table (egress table) guided by the N−1st table with respect to the packet after the packet passes the N−1st table; and outputting the packet after processing the Nth table. Accordingly, the flexible control of a final output is made possible through various operations using output port information.
