Improving network services' resilience using independent configuration replication

This paper proposes that the MiNSC's distributed architecture could be used to overcome the limitations of management configurations translations [1]. It uses a configuration independent approach to improve the managed service's resilience, which is based on the dynamic replication of a service node's configuration. This methodology was tested for configuration management of the DNS service and comparisons were made to methods based on traditional static service configuration redeployment instead. It was found that even though a longer period of time is necessary for completion, the replication of the node's dynamic configurations is possible.
