Abstract
In one embodiment, a method and a system for reducing synchronization of data in a network is disclosed. The method includes generating a string based on the configuration in a first network device. Thereafter, the generated string is hashed to form a first integer. The first integer is used to identify an object. Subsequently, the identified object is utilized for synchronization between the first network device and a second network device. As a result, the need for synchronization of the data is reduced.
