Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and system for improved node control in a distributed peer-to-peer network. The invention provides a framework component which automatically converts and conditions incoming data from other nodes, regardless of their type. The data is converted from a network compatible format to an application compatible format based upon stored data type definitions. The data is further conditioned based on stored data property rules. Thus, once the data reaches the application, it is already properly formatted. The application component which runs on the device hardware is greatly simplified through the use of this framework component.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention employs techniques for the self-installation of network devices using fire-and-forget principles. These devices modify their own network configuration data, but do not modify the network configuration data of other devices. Utilizing fire-and-forget principles, the need for a central database and central authority on the network is not required but may still be used.
