Abstract:
Nowadays, the underlying network infrastructure grows in scale and
complexity, which make it challenging for network operators to manage
and configure the network. Deploying policy or configuration based
on an abstract view of the underlying network is much better than
manipulating each individual network element, however, in this case,
the policy and configuration cannot be recognized by the network
elements. This document describes guidelines for mapping said
abstract configuration and policy into device-level configuration and
the way in which such models will be processed by software to produce
configuration details for actual devices. The Simplified Use of
Policy Abstractions (SUPA) framework overview, exemplary mechanism
for exchanging service polices among the different elements
participating in their deployment and enforcement, and primary
procedures of mapping are described. Moreover, an exemplary mapping
scenario is provided to illustrate the defined mechanism.
