A method for configuring a computing infrastructure is disclosed. The method comprises representing at least a portion of the computing infrastructure as a graph representation of computing infrastructure elements including a computing infrastructure node and a computing infrastructure edge, detecting a change in the graph representation of computing infrastructure elements, and determining whether the change affects a graph representation query pattern. In the event the change affects the graph representation query pattern, the change is notified to a query agent associated with the graph representation query pattern.

Configuration, telemetry, and analytics of a computer infrastructure using a graph model

A method and apparatus of a device that determines a match for a compressed address using an exact match table of a network element is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the network element receives a data packet that has a destination address. The network element further compresses the destination address to give a compressed address. In addition, the network element performs an address lookup using the compressed address in an exact match table. Furthermore, a match in the address lookup indicates a transmitting interface of the network element. The network element forwards the data packet using the transmitting interface.
