1. A first waveguide system comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of first operations, the first operations comprising;

    transmitting, to a second waveguide system, first electromagnetic waves via a transmission medium;

    wherein the first electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path;

    wherein the first electromagnetic waves convey data including a software program;

    wherein the software program is received by the second waveguide system from the first waveguide system without being received directly from a network source server that originated the software program;

    wherein a hierarchical configuration of the first waveguide system and the second waveguide system is dynamically organized such that the first waveguide system is designated as a root node, for distribution of the software program, for a group of elements comprising the second waveguide system; and

    wherein the transmitting of the first electromagnetic waves facilitates adjusting second operations at the second waveguide system utilizing the software program.
