Modern computer networks use states to store temporary status of the network. This allows to enforce complicated forwarding policies and to enhance networks in a modular way. However, this can lead to subtle errors and makes network verification hard. I will survey current techniques for dealing with statefull networks and show a system for verifying networks using SMT solvers.
