Policy-Based Management Framework for the Simplified Use of Policy Abstractions
RFC 8328, “Policy-Based Management Framework for the Simplified Use of Policy Abstractions”, is an Informational document published in March 2018 by W. Liu, C. Xie, J. Strassner, G. Karagiannis, M. Klyus, J. Bi, Y. Cheng, D. Zhang. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Simplified Use of Policy Abstractions (SUPA) policy-based management framework defines base YANG data models to encode policy. These models point to device-, technology-, and service-specific YANG data models developed elsewhere. Policy rules within an operator's environment can be used to express high-level, possibly network-wide, policies to a network management function (within a controller, an orchestrator, or a network element). The network management function can then control the configuration and/or monitoring of network elements and services. This document describes the SUPA basic framework, its elements, and interfaces.
