Embedded reactive and proactive intelligence

摘要

A network device may include logic configured to invoke proactive programs based on the expiration of a long time period within the network device, wherein the proactive programs collect data relating to operations of the network device, invoke reactive programs based on the detection of at least one of an event or expiration of a short time period, wherein the reactive programs collect, correlate and analyze data relating to the detected event or expiration of a short time period, determine a corrective action based on collected and analyzed data, and perform the determined corrective action within the network device.
