LINKED LIST SCRIPTING ENGINE

摘要

A system and a method are creating a linked list scripts for a networking device. The system receives a set of nodes defining script functionality and generates a script by coupling the nodes in a nodal structure based on desired order of execution, wherein a leaf node is an standalone node with no child node, and wherein a nugget node includes one or more child nodes, each child node being a nugget or leaf node. The system then determines an execution path through a subset of nodes in the nodal tree structure based on one or more input values. The system also compiles the subset of nodes into a linked list of operations, which follows the execution path, and executes the path of operations within the compiled linked list of operations.

1. A method for creating a linked list for executing a plurality of portions of script on a device, the method comprising:
receiving a set of nodes, each node comprising a portion of script defining functionality of the device; coupling the nodes in a nodal structure based on a desired order of execution of the portions of script; determining an execution path through a subset of nodes in the nodal structure based at least in part on one or more input values of defined input properties for one or more of the portions of script; and compiling, by a processor, the subset of nodes into a linked list of operations for execution by the device, the linked list following the determined execution path.
