Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automatic configuring of a network of interconnected nodes to handle electronic data traffic comprises the steps of receiving a request to transfer a block of data from a source data storage device of the network to a destination data storage device, determining a status for each data storage device and a plurality of data transmission devices, determining paths through the network from the source data storage device to the destination data storage device based upon the status of the devices, sending a prioritized configuration to each subset of data transmission devices to establish the paths from the source data storage device to the destination data storage device, sending a signal to the source data storage device to transfer the block of data to the destination data storage device, and returning the data transmission devices to a default configuration after the block of data has been transferred.
