Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is an automated process supported by some software. Unlike the old manual configuring processes, Deeper intelligence and analysis are involved in Intent-Based Networking. An outcome, so-called intent, can be made by the network administrator, while the administrator does not need to know the exact process of achieving the outcome. Instead, the network software can help determine how to get the outcome using intelligent technology. Compared to the regular network, there are some advantages that an intent-based network provides. IBN reduces the amount of manual operation, improves the ability of analysis, accelerates the speed of troubleshooting, and has better security. In general, it could provide significant timesaving, especially regarding network configuration and reaction to network issues. Intent-based networking depends on artificial intelligence and machine learning to prescribe and perform activities and react to network concerns. The software analyzes the given intent and then finishes the jobs if the intent requires them. With AI technology, intent-based networking has more capability to automate networking tasks than regular software-defined networking. (“What is intent-based networking,” n.d.)
This report aims to analyze and study the design, application, and other aspects of Intent-Based Networking. It compares it with the manual process of network configuring and explores the relationship between IBN and Software-Defined Networks (SDN), then learn about how intent-based networking works with business intent. -
