Abstract

See full text

A method and system for transacting routing device configurations using a centralized information provider or database system. The invention receives configuration commands from a user of the router. The invention then communicates the configuration command to the centralized database system. The centralized database system manages a storage structure (database tree) having a plurality of tuple nodes, where each tuple node contains configuration data for the router. The centralized database then carries out the configuration change in the appropriate tuple node using the configuration information provided in the configuration command issued by the user. The invention allows the user of the router to 'back-out' of such transactions by reverting the configuration of the affected tuple node to its previous or original state. The invention also reverts the configuration of the affected tuple nodes upon the occurrence of certain events.
