Abstract
A network element (300), upon determining (101) that an operational state event (such as a significant configuration change, a significant fault event, or the like) has occurred, can automatically transmit (102) a message to a peer network element. This message can provide information regarding the operational state event coupled with information regarding a time that corresponds to when the operational state event occurred. By one approach, this message can further comprise one or more of identification information that uniquely identifies the network element, a registration address by which a receiving element can register with the network element, and a loading indicator. Such a message can be transmitted essentially contemporaneously with the aforementioned determination that the operational state event has occurred or at some later time. A network element that receives (201) such a message can, in turn, responsively take (202) a corresponding predetermined automated action such as by re-registering with the transmitting element.
