Summary: | A logically centralized physically distributed Internet protocol (IP) network-connected devices configuration is disclosed. The technology initially receives configuration information regarding an IP network-connected devices configuration. The configuration information is then disseminated to a plurality of devices coupled with the IP network-connected devices configuration. At least a portion of the IP network-connected devices configuration with a related timestamp is then stored on any of the plurality of devices having a datastore thereon. In so doing, the IP network-connected devices configuration is physically distributed and at least partially replicated such that when a comparison of a status information with respect to at least one of the network-connected devices, the status information having a most recent timestamp associated therewith is relied upon. |
