The application relates to a system for entropy-based stability management, comprising:
a processor in a network executing a stability agent;
the stability agent to collect stability information from a plurality of nodes on the network and to determine a relative dependability between and among the plurality of nodes, and to calculate a level of stability of each of the plurality of nodes and network, wherein the level of stability is calculated using entropy-based statistical methods; and
an operational agent running on at least on node on the network, the operational agent to receive the stability information from the stability agent and to provide management and control operations to at least one aspect of the network, based on the stability information.
In some embodiments, the invention involves calculating entropy-based stability values to be used in a framework to build a new class of network control (policy) and (state) management services. The framework may be used to build a number of self-management services to support decentralized (mesh) networks. Other embodiments are described and claimed. |
