%X <p>The flow table updating with loop-free consistence is one of the most important issues in software defined networking (SDN), in which, the optimal scheme has high computing complexity, while the single/double directional updating schemes have low computing complexity, however, the length of dependency chain is difficult to be optimized. The article presents a consistent flow update scheme based on multi-directional searching. The scheme was proved loop-free consistent. Simulation shows that the scheme shortens the length of dependency chain, closes to the optimal scheme and effectively reduces the working load on controller.</p>
