Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: determining underlying network information for a computer network, the underlying network information comprising at least one of either physical and optical network information; determining topologies for the computer network and associated resource information, the topologies comprising at least one of either Internet Protocol (IP) and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) topologies; determining label switched path (LSP) state information for the computer network; building network state knowledge by aggregating the underlying network information, the topologies and associated resource information, and the LSP state information, wherein the network state knowledge is an aggregation of the underlying network information, the topologies and associated resource information, and the LSP state information; establishing communication within a dynamic network of other stateful computing entities sharing network state knowledge for parallel computation performance; and performing network computation based on the network state knowledge.
