  • identifying a routing change in the network data processing system;

    responsive to identifying the routing change, generating a node topology for a set of routing devices present in the network data processing system;

    building a master network configuration table at a routing device within the set of routing devices, wherein the network configuration table contains configuration data from the routing devices in the node topology; and

    broadcasting the master network configuration table to the routing devices in the network data processing system.
