ABSTRACT:
In some embodiments, the invention involves a system and method relating to 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. In at least one embodiment, the present invention is intended to hybridize centralized and decentralized network models to generate a more stable and robust network environment using clustering. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
