A low workload operation method for SDN switch replacement that prevents wiring mistakes

In order to dramatically reduce the operation work needed for switch replacement, we propose a new operation method that allows connections among arbitrary port pairs. We build and test a system that implements our proposal. The system detects wiring mistakes, and supports replacement with different or same switch models. A wiring experiment shows our proposal can enhance wiring efficiency.
