Offers an interface with an abstraction layer for you to communicate “intentions,” i.e., what you expect from the network. The Intent model, which is part of NIC’s core architecture, describes your networking services requirements and transforms the details of the desired state to OpenDaylight. NIC has four features:
Formed to initiate the development of data models and APIs that facilitate OpenDaylight software applications’ and/or service orchestrators’ ability to configure and provision connectivity services.
An experimental feature Plugin that allows subscriptions to be placed on targeted subtrees of YANG datastores residing on remote devices. Changes in YANG objects within the remote subtree can be pushed to OpenDaylight as specified and don’t require OpenDaylight to make continuous fetch requests. YANG-PUBSUB is developed as a Java project. Development requires Maven version 3.1.1 or later.
