Service Assurance for Intent-Based Networking Architecture

Overview

RFC 9417, “Service Assurance for Intent-Based Networking Architecture”, is an Informational document published in July 2023 by B. Claise, J. Quilbeuf, D. Lopez, D. Voyer, T. Arumugam. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes an architecture that provides some assurance that service instances are running as expected. As services rely upon multiple subservices provided by a variety of elements, including the underlying network devices and functions, getting the assurance of a healthy service is only possible with a holistic view of all involved elements. This architecture not only helps to correlate the service degradation with symptoms of a specific network component but, it also lists the services impacted by the failure or degradation of a specific network component.
