Building and maintaining a network

Abstract

Techniques and systems for establishing and maintaining networks. The technique includes assigning a network device to an interregional redirector system and load balancer systems. The network device can be assigned based upon the regions or subregions of the network device. The technique includes the load balancer systems assigning the network device to network device management engines. The status of the network device management engines can be monitored to determine if one of the network device management engines has failed. In the event that a network device management engine has failed, the network device can be assigned to a different network device management engine.

1 . A method for building and maintaining a network comprising:
 operationally connecting a network device to an interregional redirector engine;   receiving at the interregional redirector engine network device information of the network device;   assigning, by the interregional redirector engine, the network device to a load balancer system.
