Generating a natural name data structure to prevent duplicate network data associated with an asynchronous distributed network operating system

A network device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors to:
• receive first objects defining first network data associated with an asynchronous distributed network and an asynchronous distributed network operating system;
• generate a natural name graph based on the first objects defining the first network data;
• provide information describing the natural name graph to one or more other network devices in the asynchronous distributed network;
• receive a second object defining second network data associated with the asynchronous distributed network and the asynchronous distributed network operating system;
• determine whether one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object;
• remove the one of the first objects from the natural name graph when the one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object;
• and
• provide, to the one or more other network devices, a notification,
• wherein the notification includes:
• information indicating that the one of the first objects was removed from the natural name graph, and
• information instructing the one or more other network devices to remove the one of the first objects from the natural name graph.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive first objects defining first network data associated with an asynchronous distributed network and an asynchronous distributed network operating system;
• generate a natural name graph based on the first objects defining the first network data;
• provide information describing the natural name graph to one or more other network devices in the asynchronous distributed network;
• receive a second object defining second network data associated with the asynchronous distributed network and the asynchronous distributed network operating system;
• add the second object to the natural name graph;
• determine whether one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object;
• remove the one of the first objects from the natural name graph when the one of the first objects in the natural name graph is a duplicate of the second object;
• and
• provide, to the one or more other network devices, a notification indicating that:
• the second object was added to the natural name graph, and
• the one of the first objects was removed from the natural name graph.
