Abstract
A method to pre-compile configuration information for a network connection device includes receiving a rule file defining behavioral requirements for the network connection device. An operations file, describing operations supported by a plurality of components of the network connection device, is received. A rule program, executable by the network connection device, is generated utilizing the rule file and the operations file. The rule program comprises a set of operations, selected from operations supported by the plurality of components of the network connection device, for performance by the respective components of the network connection device in accordance with the behavioral requirements defined by the rule file.

A method to pre-compile configuration information for a network connection device, the method including:
- receiving a rule file defining behavioral requirements for the network connection device;
- receiving an operations file describing operations supported by a plurality of components of the network connection device;
- and
- generating a rule program, executable by the network connection device, utilizing the rule file and the operations file,
- wherein the rule program comprises a set of operations, selected from operations supported by the plurality of components of the network connection device, for performance by the respective components of the network connection device in accordance with the behavioral requirements defined by the rule file.
A system to pre-compile configuration information for a network connection device, the system including:
- a rule file defining behavioral requirements for the network connection device;
- an operations file describing operations supported by a plurality of components of the network connection device;
- and
- a compiler to generate a rule program, executable by the network connection device, utilizing the rule file and the operations file,
- wherein the rule program comprises a set of operations, selected from operations supported by the plurality of components of the network connection device, for performance by the respective components of the network connection device in accordance with the behavioral requirements defined by the rule file.
A system to pre-compile configuration information for a network connection device, the system including:
- first means for defining behavioral requirements for the network connection device;
- second means for describing operations supported by a plurality of components of the network connection device;
- and
- third means for generating a rule program, executable by the network connection device, utilizing the first means and the second means,
- wherein the rule program comprises a set of operations, selected from operations supported by the plurality of components of the network connection device, for performance by the respective components of the network connection device in accordance with the behavioral requirements defined by the first means.
A machine-readable medium storing a sequence of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform the method for pre-pre-compiling configuration information for a network connection device, the method including:
- accessing a rule file defining behavioral requirements for the network connection device;
- accessing an operations file describing operations supported by a plurality of components of the network connection device;
- and
- generating a rule program, executable by the network connection device, utilizing the rule file and the operations file,
- wherein the rule program comprises a set of operations, selected from operations supported by the plurality of components of the network connection device, for performance by the respective components of the network connection device in accordance with the behavioral requirements defined by the rule file.
