1. A method of controlling reconfiguration operations in a networking environment having a plurality of routers comprising:

  • identifying a condition in which one of said routers is switched to a reconfiguration mode;

    initiating a network monitoring state that includes monitoring operational parameters of each said router as an automated response to said identifying said condition, where said operational parameters are indicative of network traffic routing conditions within said networking environment;

    detecting faulty network traffic routing conditions on a basis of said monitoring of said operational parameters;

    resetting said routers to configurations that preceded said network monitoring state as an automated response to said detecting said faulty network traffic routing conditions; and

    enabling router reconfigurations if no said faulty network traffic routing condition is detected.
