ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method allows current network configuration information and future network configuration information to be stored, wherein the future network configuration information reflects the future facilities planning considerations and may be dirived from the current network configuration information. The system includes a directory server on which a current map tree, containing current network configuration information and a temporary map tree are stored. The temporary map tree only contains the information for any components, organized into a tree structure, for which the configuration changes are expected to occur in the future. The system responds to a request for network configuration information that is applicable to any future time from any external resquester, and searches the trees including the directory entries that reside in the current map tree and temporary map tree.
