Abstract
An entity, such as a human user or automated program or script, can request an exclusive lock on a router configuration database that prevents other entities from modifying the configuration database until the lock is released. The lock is granted only if no other entity has a lock and the configuration database has not been modified since the last time it was committed. Misconfiguration of the router is thereby prevented.
