1. A first node in a network of nodes and connections, each connection connecting two nodes, the first node comprising a processing device arranged to:
- detect, in response to a configuration change, a different configuration in a node connected to the first node;
identify a number of nodes, from a plurality of nodes connected to the first node, that include the different configuration;
determine that the identified number of nodes exceeds a predetermined threshold; and
instruct each of the plurality of nodes to implement the different configuration in response to the determination.

Abstract
A network of nodes and connections is provided, each connection connecting two nodes. Operating a first node in the network includes detecting a change in a node connected to the first node, identifying that the number of nodes connected to the first node with the detected change is above a predetermined threshold, and executing the detected change at the first node and/or propagating the detected change to one or more nodes connected to the first node that do not have the detected change.
