The idea of using control loops to automatically (or autonomously) perform network management has been the subject of much research in the Network Management research community, see this paper for some background. However, it is only with the advent of ONAP that we have a platform that supports control loops for network management. Before ONAP, Control Loops have been implemented by hard-coding components together and hard coding logic into components. ONAP has taken a step forward towards automatic implementation of Control Loops by allowing parameterization of Control Loops that work on the premise that the Control Loops use a set of analytic, policy, and control components connected together in set ways.
