Examples provide a network component, a network switch, a central office, a base station, a data storage element, a method, an apparatus, a computer program, a machine readable storage, and a machine readable medium. A network component (10) is configured to manage data consistency among two or more data storage elements (20, 30) in a network (40). The network component (10) comprises one or more interfaces (12) configured to register information on the two or more data storage elements (20, 30) comprising the data, information on a temporal range for the data consistency, and information on one or more address spaces at the two or more data storage elements (20, 30) to address the data. The network component (10) further comprises a logical component (14) configured to effect data updating at the two or more data storage elements (20, 30) based on the information on one or more address spaces at the two or more data storage elements (20, 30) and based on the information on the temporal range for the data consistency.
