Abstract

YAP is a protocol designed to efficiently and robustly relay network configuration states of nodes to a designated node that collects and stores the configuration states of all the nodes. Once the configuration states from the nodes are collected, any application can query the information to perform its own specific function. For example, a GUI application can query the database to display the logical topology of the networks. Also a Configuration Manager can query the database to decide how to reconfigure the network. We describe how YAP was integrated with protocols designed to auto-configure IP-related attributes of nodes (using DRCP and DCDP).
