Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a computing device, a performance value for a first node of a network grid; determining, by the computing device, whether the performance value is equal or greater than a first threshold; identifying, by the computing device, a second node of the network grid when the performance value is equal or greater than the first threshold; identifying a third node of the network grid; wherein the third node functions in a second role different from a role of the first node and is directly linked to the second node; shifting processing from the second node to the third node; reprogramming, by the computing device, the second node to function in the role of the first node, wherein, prior to the reprogramming of the second node, the second node functions in the second role; and shifting, by the computing device, processing from the first node to the second node.
