1. A method of operation of a communications network, the method comprising:
in a cluster computing device:
generating a performance model for a plurality of network nodes of the communications network, wherein the performance model relates configuration parameters of a network node to at least one energy performance parameter of the network node;
transferring the generated performance model to the plurality of network nodes;
receiving information from the plurality of network nodes, said information indicating configuration parameters and at least one energy performance parameter of the respective network node;
identifying a first network node of said plurality of network nodes as having a poor performance;
identifying a second network node of said plurality of network nodes as having a good performance; and
causing the first network node to operate with cloned configuration parameters of the second network node; and
the method further comprising:
in a local client computing device associated with the second network node:
transmitting configuration parameters of the second network node to the first network node; and
in a local client computing device associated with the first network node:
receiving configuration parameters from the second network node; and
setting the configuration parameters of the first network node to correspond to the configuration parameters received from the second network node.
