Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for controlling deployment of network configuration changes includes receiving, by centralized network management system executed by a processor and memory, configuration change instructions to alter a configuration of a network; computing, by the centralized network management system, a weighted impact of the configuration change instructions; determining, by the centralized network management system, whether the weighted impact of the configuration change instructions exceeds a threshold impact level; and in response to determining that the weighted impact does not exceed the threshold impact level, executing the configuration change instructions.
