NETWORK CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT DEFINITION (continued): … system are coupled is a relative, qualitative notion. A loosely coupled system can be easily broken down into definable elements. The extent of coupling in a system can be informally measured by noting the maximum number of element changes that can occur without adverse effects. Examples of such changes are adding elements, removing elements, renaming elements, reconfiguring elements, modifying internal element characteristics and rearranging the way in which elements are interconnected.Loose coupling minimizes unwanted interaction among system elements. However, loose coupling can also give rise …
