The document discusses high availability for establishing atomic communication paths. It states that if a request to establish a flow path is accomplished, all flows composing the connection will be programmed, but if the request fails, no flows will be programmed and an error will be reported via rollback. Typical failures include timeouts or operations failing, such as attempting to program a full flow table on a switch. Acceptance criteria include committing successfully programmed flows and rolling back failed requests to maintain integrity and atomicity.
