A first controller in a distributed network obtains, concurrently with a second controller in the distributed network, a system requirement and a message from a logical bus. The first controller and the second controller are communicatively coupled to the logical bus, and the first controller is communicatively coupled to a first portion of the network components and the second controller is communicatively coupled to a second portion. A processor associated with the first controller solves, concurrently with the second controller, the system requirement and the solving includes applying a solver to generate new configurations of the network components. The new configurations generated by the first controller are identical to the new configurations generated by the second controller. The first controller extracts configurations relevant to the first portion of the network components and applies the configurations to the first portion of the network components.
