Abstract

Data models provide a programmatic approach to represent services andnetworks. Concretely, they can be used to derive configurationinformation for network and service components, and state informationthat will be monitored and tracked. Data models can be used duringthe service and network management life cycle (e.g., serviceinstantiation, service provisioning, service optimization, servicemonitoring, service diagnosing, and service assurance). Data modelsare also instrumental in the automation of network management, andthey can provide closed-loop control for adaptive and deterministicservice creation, delivery, and maintenance.

This document describes a framework for service and networkmanagement automation that takes advantage of YANG modelingtechnologies. This framework is drawn from a network operatorperspective irrespective of the origin of a data model; thus, it canaccommodate YANG modules that are developed outside the IETF.
