Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting an issue associated with data communications between a first node and a second node of a distributed communications system, wherein the issue is related to a change in a condition between the first node and the second node. Locations of the first and second nodes are determined. An intermediary node is identified, based on the locations of the first and second nodes and the detecting of the issue, wherein equipment of the intermediary node is operable to engage in wireless communications with the first and second nodes, and a redirection of data communications is facilitated between the first and second nodes responsive to the detecting of the issue. The redirection of the data communications places the equipment of the intermediary node in communications between the first node and the second node. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments can include receiving signals over a transmission medium. The signals are received as electromagnetic waves at a physical interface of the transmission medium that propagate without utilizing an electrical return path. The electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium. Further embodiments can include detecting a disturbance on the transmission medium and identifying the disturbance as an animal. Additional embodiments include selecting a control measure according to the animal resulting in a selected control measure and implementing the selected control measure in response to identifying the animal. Other embodiments are disclosed.
