INTENT-BASED NETWORK VALIDATION

Abstract:

A network validation system is described which may perform operations such as generating, analyzing, verifying, correcting, recommending, and deploying language, symbols, etc., such as domain specific language, configured to allow users to express their intent on the configuration and operation of a network, such as a cloud-based network. The network validation system may provide domain specific language that includes rules, statements, symbols, data, etc., configured to convey the intent of users on the configuration and operation of networks for purposes such as configuring and/or validating communication paths, testing or setting associated network object configurations, and may be employed to report violations in such configurations relative to user intent of the one or more users. The network validation system may also be employed to monitor such domain specific language and generate telemetry signaling, for example, that a rule has or has not been violated, actions a user may take, etc.
