**Affirmed position.** Preserving Flow Table Integrity in OpenFlow Networks through Smart Contract states that storing OpenFlow rules in a distributed ledger protects them against malicious tampering. This independently supports the tamper-resistant-record element in Kaal's four-part reputation-infrastructure claim. The abstract concerns network flow rules and does not establish the verification, scoring, or non-transferability elements.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: substantively reviewed abstract-level agreement.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.62.
- The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
- Evidence is limited to an exact proposition in a Crossref-indexed abstract; full text was not reviewed.
- No relationship is treated as external endorsement, citation, causation, or validation of a broader Kaal claim.
- The source states that storing OpenFlow rules in a distributed ledger protects them against malicious tampering. This independently supports the tamper-resistant-record element in Kaal's four-part reputation-infrastructure claim, while it concerns network flow rules and does not establish the other verification, scoring, or non-transferability elements.
