Abstract:
In one embodiment, a supervisory device in a network receives a help request from a first node in the network indicative of a problem in the network detected by the first node. The supervisory device identifies a second node in the network that is hosting a repair walker agent able to address the detected problem. The supervisory device determines a network path via which the second node is to send repair walker agent to the first node. The supervisory device instructs the second node to send the repair walker agent to the first node via the determined path.
