Abstract

Intent and Intent-Based Networking are taking the industry by storm. At the same time, terms related to Intent-Based Networking are oftenused loosely and inconsistently, in many cases overlapping andconfused with other concepts such as "policy." This documentclarifies the concept of "intent" and provides an overview of thefunctionality that is associated with it. The goal is to contributetowards a common and shared understanding of terms, concepts, andfunctionality that can be used as the foundation to guide furtherdefinition of associated research and engineering problems and theirsolutions.

This document is a product of the IRTF Network Management ResearchGroup (NMRG). It reflects the consensus of the research group, havingreceived many detailed and positive reviews by research groupparticipants. It is published for informational purposes.
