1. A method for providing dynamic feedback control of network elements in a data network, the data network including a plurality of network elements, each of said network elements having a plurality operating parameters associated therewith, said method comprising:

  • dynamically receiving information related to a first subset of network elements;

    dynamically determining, using at least a portion of said received information, whether a performance of at least a portion of said network conforms with a predetermined criteria;

    automatically reporting, by a device having at least one processor, results of said determining to an administration system for dynamically responding to said results, wherein the reporting is dynamically triggered in response to a determination that the performance of the portion of said network fails to conform with the predetermined criteria, wherein the response is selected to dynamically alter a performance policy of the portion of the network to conform with the predetermined criteria; and

    automatically and dynamically altering a performance policy of the portion of the network to conform with the predetermined criteria in response to a determination that the performance of the portion of said network fails to conform with the predetermined criteria;

    wherein the predetermined criteria relates to a specified bandwidth usage.
