  • POLICY BASED FRAMEWORK FOR APPLICATION MANAGEMENT IN A NETWORK DEVICE HAVING MULTIPLE PACKET-PROCESSING NODES
    Publication number: 20160191613
    Abstract: A first system manager operating on a first node of a distributed routing system, receives data indicating a current state of the distributed routing system. The first system manager may determine, based at least in part on the current state of the distributed routing system and a set of rules for an application, an updated state of the distributed routing system. Furthermore, the first node may send the updated state of the distributed routing system to a second node of the distributed routing system. Responsive to receiving the updated state of the distributed routing system, a second system manager on the second node may modify a state of the second node. Modifying the state of the second node may comprise at least one of: starting the application on the second node, stopping the application on the second node, or modifying a state of the application on the second node.
