“Evolution towards open software systems is driving the need for model-based programmability and automation. The industry is moving from individual operator and vendor configuration to centralized automated orchestration. The ability to see, manipulate and act on traffic flows, in true real-time, is at the heart of innovative Software Defined Networking models. A model-driven management framework must deliver programmability, visibility and usability. The programmability aspect revolves around YANG configuration. This allows model-driven interfaces (NETCONF, gRPC, and model-driven CLI) to program routers based on the common YANG models and configure and provision the network. Visibility is about getting state and statistics from the network via push based streaming telemetry. Usability is about giving the operator access to configuration and state information through a model-driven CLI, which supports transactional configuration, templating and a multiuser environment.
In this presentation, James Cumming (Product Line Manager – IP routing) reviews these key elements of a model-driven management framework.”
