1. A method for configuring a plurality of networking devices in a network having a local layer and a global layer, the method comprising:
receiving, at the local layer, an indication of a denial of service (DOS) attack directed at a system within the network;
storing, in a database of the local layer, a configuration change corresponding to the DOS attack;
sending, by a streamer device of the local layer and to a controller device of the global layer, the configuration change;
storing, by the controller device, the configuration change in a database of the global layer, wherein the database of the global layer comprises stored configurations of the plurality of networking devices connected to the network;
generating, by the controller device and based on the stored configurations in the database of the global layer, a plurality of configuration changes to send to the plurality of networking devices;
storing, in the database of the global layer, the plurality of configuration changes; and
sending, by the controller device of the global layer and to the plurality of networking devices, the plurality of configuration changes.
