Abstract: A controller device for a network provides data associated with pipeline capabilities of a programmable switch. The programmable switch receives data associated with pipeline capabilities of the programmable switch. The pipeline capabilities include a plurality of flow tables and allowable table transitions for each of the flow tables. The programmable switch determines that a first flow table and a second flow table are mutually independent based on the allowable table transitions for each of the flow tables. The programmable switch configures a pipeline for data flow in the computing device, the pipeline comprising a plurality of pipeline stages, a particular pipeline stage comprising the first flow table and the second flow table.
