Methods and apparatus for managing data flow within a network

摘要

Systems and methods are directed to managing resources within a network. In one example a method includes receiving destination capabilities from at least one destination component to an intermediate services component and generating an aggregate capabilities ticket based on the received destination capabilities. The method further includes providing the generated aggregate capabilities ticket from the intermediate services component to a client component and receiving an aggregate intent ticket that is produced by the client component and based on the aggregate capabilities ticket to the intermediate services component from the client component. The method may further include compiling a destination component database. The method may additionally include generating a destination intent ticket based on the received aggregate intent ticket and the destination component database, and providing the destination intent ticket to a target destination component.
