Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for performing zone entity modifications to entities in a network wherein a set of generic zone entity modification commands with an estimated lower processing cost is selected for each modification. Prior zone entity modifications in the network and the associated quantity of entities and processing time associated therewith are stored in a data structure. In response to a zone entity modification request, data associated with the current request is evaluated in view of processing time for prior zone entity modifications. An estimate of processing time for the zone entity modification request is calculated for at least two sets of generic zone entity modification commands. The set of generic commands with an estimated lower processing cost is selected and applied to the current zone entity modification request.
