Abstract
An example controller device that manages a plurality of network devices includes one or more processors implemented in circuitry and configured to: determine that configuration of one or more network devices of the plurality of network devices is to be updated; determine dependencies between types of resources provided by the network devices; construct a directed acyclic graph (DAG) representing the dependencies, the DAG having nodes representing the corresponding types of resources of the network devices of the plurality of network devices; sort the nodes of the DAG according to a grouped topological sort into a plurality of hierarchical levels according to the dependencies; and submit queries for two or more resources of the network devices at a common level of the plurality of hierarchical levels in parallel to determine resources of the determined types of resources of the two or more resources to configure the two or more network devices.
