GLOBAL INTENT-BASED CONFIGURATION TO LOCAL INTENT TARGETS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17727411 Titled 'GLOBAL INTENT-BASED CONFIGURATION TO LOCAL INTENT TARGETS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system for network configuration that uses intent-based technology. It uses a two-tiered reconciliation model to adapt a global intent to multiple local intent declarations for different regions. The system includes a global reconciliation engine that receives a global intent for the network and generates local intent declarations for each region. It also includes multiple local reconciliation engines that reconcile the local configurations of network functions in each region with their respective local intent declarations.
Original Abstract Submitted
Described are examples for providing intent based network configuration with a two-tiered reconciliation model for adapting a global intent to a plurality of local intent declarations for respective regions. A system for network configuration may include a global reconciliation engine configured to: receive a global intent including requirements, goals, and constraints for a network; generate a plurality of local intent declarations from the global intent, each respective local intent declaration being for a respective region that hosts network functions; and reconcile a plurality of the local configurations with the global intent. The system may include a plurality of local reconciliation engines configured to reconcile a local configuration of the network functions hosted in the respective region with the respective local intent declaration.
