Abstract
A method for provisioning a managed node is described. The method includes obtaining data indicating a set of resources to be downloaded. The data corresponds to a designated configuration. The method also includes sending parallel resource existence requests to peer nodes for one or more resources in the set of resources. The resource existence requests are sent within a managed network. The method further includes determining if one or more responses from the peer nodes are received. The method additionally includes downloading at least one resource from at least one of the peer nodes if at least one response is received indicating that at least one peer node has a requested resource. The method also includes downloading any remaining resource from an administrative system.
