METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELF-CONFIGURATION OF A NETWORK

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for self-configuration of a network. The method includes receiving a change in a hub parameter for at least one router of a plurality of routers in the network, and providing a send list to each of the plurality of routers based upon the change. In a preferred embodiment, a hub router is provided a first send list comprising addresses for each non-hub router in the network while each non-hub router is provided a second send list comprising the address for each hub router. The method and system of the present invention allows a network to automatically configure and reconfigure its architecture whenever a hub parameter changes. Less time and human labor is required over conventional manual configuration methods, which in turn reduces the costs of maintaining the network.
