Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a system and method for validating network transformation instructions. In one preferred embodiment, it is determined whether a plurality of network transformation instructions arranged in a first order will result in an invalid network state of a computer network if implemented. If the plurality of network transformation instructions arranged in the first order will result in an invalid network state if implemented, the plurality of network transformation instructions are rearranged into an order that will not result in an invalid network state if implemented. Other preferred embodiments are provided herein, and any or all of the preferred embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for the collection and storage of traffic data. In one preferred embodiment, traffic data is collected from at least one network element in a first point of presence in a computer network. The collected traffic data is analyzed, and a result of the analysis is transmitted to a storage device remote from the first point of presence. Other preferred embodiments are provided herein, and any or all of the preferred embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.

Abstract: The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method and system for automatically directing data in a computer network based on traffic demands. In one preferred embodiment, traffic demands of a computer network are determined, and data is automatically directed in the computer network based on the determined traffic demands. Other preferred embodiments are provided, and any or all of the preferred embodiments described herein can be used alone or in combination with one another.

Abstract: A system is provided for servicing requests by a mobile controller to utilize stationary or mobile resources present within a partitioned communication cell such as an office or room in a building. The mobile controller has a control signal mechanism for generating control request signals to modify behavior of the stationary or mobile resource, with the range of the control request signals substantially limited to the partitioned communication cell. A room agent receives and acts upon the control request signals after dynamically determining availability of both mobile resources entering and exiting the partitioned communication cell and stationary resources already present in the partitioned communication cell.
