Object Oriented Networks

摘要

An approach is provided in which a system creates a network application model that includes network policy objects and connection rules corresponding to sending data between the network policy objects. The system converts the network application model to network configuration information, which links the network policy objects to the connection rules. In turn, a network control plane is configured based upon the network configuration information to map the network application model to a physical infrastructure.

1. A method comprising:
creating, by one or more processors, a network application model that includes a plurality of network policy objects and a plurality of connection rules corresponding to sending data between a plurality of endpoints assigned to the network policy objects; converting, by one or more of the processors, the network application model to network configuration information, the network configuration information linking the plurality of network policy objects to the plurality of connection rules; and configuring, by one or more of the processors, a network control plane, based upon the network configuration information, to map the network application model to a physical infrastructure.
