Abstract:
As IP networks grow more complicated, these networks require a new
interaction mechanism between customers and their networks based on
intent rather than detailed specifics. An intent-based protocol
language is need to enable customers to easily describe their diverse
intent for network connectivity to the network management systems.
This document describes the problem Intent-Based NEtwork Modeling
(IB-Nemo) language is trying to solve, a summary of the use cases
that demonstrate this problem, and a proposed scope of work. Part of
the scope is the validation of the language as a minimal subset.
The IB-NEMO language is a protocol language for interactions between
an application and a network manager/controller. Some would call
this boundary between the application and the network management
system as northbound interface (NBI), and any protocol language that
crosses this as an NBI. IB-Nemo focuses on creating minimal subset
of the total possible Intent-Based desired commands. By creating a
minimal subset (about 20% of the total possible), the IB-Nemo
language can be a simple Intent interface for most applications
(hopefully 80%). Part of validation of this language is to to
determine what data models should result in the network controller
from different use cases. This way as IB-Nemo protocol language is
reduced the effort can verify that the critical information is
stilled passed.
