Towards declarative intent processing and conflict resolution in IBN

Abstract

Intent-based networking aims at achieving automated network management by allowing users to express desired outcomes rather than manually configure network resources. In this poster paper, by means of an example, we illustrate our proposal for a declarative and vendor-agnostic methodology to perform intent processing and translation, including static conflict detection and resolution between intents, by leveraging logic programming to determine feasible placements of Virtual Network Function chains. We conclude by pointing out lines for future work.
