Abstract
In general, techniques are described for providing a hierarchical naming scheme used to propagate state information within network devices. A network device comprising a topic database and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The topic database may be configured to store a hierarchical naming scheme that associates objects representative of the state information to hierarchically arranged topics. The processor may be configured to associate consuming components within the network device to the hierarchically arranged topics, and operate as a producer component to publish an object to one of the hierarchically arranged topics. The processor may also be configured to propagate the published object to one of the consumer components associated with the one of the hierarchically arranged topics.
