Abstract: In one embodiment, a network node device includes a hardware platform including a central processing unit (CPU) complex, a storage medium and an input/output subsystem to provide network processing and transport of data in a network. The CPU complex is operative to receive a plurality of hardware platform management decisions from a plurality of different network nodes in the network, process the received hardware platform management decisions to yield a hardware platform management proposed action, and issue a command to implement the hardware platform management proposed action in the hardware platform. The hardware platform is operative to implement the hardware platform management proposed action. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
