A network node comprises: a message handling module configured to control the sending of messages to one or more output ports of the network node based on a rule set stored at the network node, the rule set comprising one or more rules; a communication module configured to receive at least one update to the rule set from a controller node, separate from the network node, for changing the rule set;a supervisor module configured to verify that the changes to the rule set instructed by the update comply with at least a first set of rule-compliance-criteria and, if so, the network node is configured to modify the rule set to implement the changes of the update and, if not, the network node is configured not to implement the changes to the rule set. 一种网络节点，包括：消息处理模块，所述消息处理模块被配置成基于存储在所述网络节点处的规则集控制向所述网络节点的一个或多个输出端口发送消息，所述规则集包括一个或多个规则；通信模块，所述通信模块被配置成从与所述网络节点分离的控制器节点接收用于改变所述规则集的对所述规则集的至少一个更新；管理器模块，所述管理器模块被配置成验证所述更新指示的对所述规则集的改变遵守至少第一组规则遵守标准，并且若是，则所述网络节点被配置成修改所述规则集以实施所述更新的所述改变，并且若否，则所述网络节点被配置成不实施对所述规则集的所述改变。
