Abstract

See full text

The techniques and/or systems described herein are configured to determine a set of update operations to transition a network from an observed network state to a target network state and to generate an update dependency graph used to dynamically schedule the set of update operations based on constraint(s) defined to ensure reliability of the network during the transition. The techniques and/or systems dynamically schedule the set of update operations based on feedback. For example, the feedback may include an indication that a previously scheduled update operation has been delayed, has failed, or has been successfully completed.
