Method and apparatus for model mapping and dynamically enabling external model on the network device

Abstract:

A data model can be customized by a user and executed in real-time at a network device. The user provides definitions for the customized data model based on a data model locally stored on the network device. The user provided definitions are used to generate a mapping contract which is processed by a mapping package generator to generate a mapping package. The mapping package can then be processed by a translation engine to dynamically execute a customized data model in real-time.
