Abstract
Network address configuration in distributed node networks can be performed and managed. A network management component (NMC) can determine a group of hooks, and an order of respective hooks of the group in a network address management stack, that can be utilized to configure a network address on an interface associated with a group of nodes based on characteristics associated with a node or interface configuration system. NMC can execute the group of hooks in order at runtime to facilitate configuration of the network address on the interface. NMC can execute respective threads of a hook stack in parallel for respective network addresses. NMC can modify a hook(s) in a hook group in response to a change in characteristics associated with the node or interface configuration system. NMC can determine another group of hooks and hook order that can be executed to remove the network address from the interface.
