Support for Vertical Industry. Intent framework is a system that helps to implement and operate networks that can improve network availability and agility. It takes a high-level business goal (intent) as input, converts it to the necessary network configurations and applies the network changes via network automation and/or network orchestration. Continuously monitoring the status of the network under control, the system validates in real time that the intent is being met, and can take corrective actions when desired intent is not met.
