IDG Contributor Network: Intent-based networking
In campus networking, there are a number of emerging trends impacting the way networks will be modeled in the future. These arising trends include mobility, Internet of Things (IoT), and uniformed security across the wired and wireless connections.
To be in tune with these trends, a new era of networking is required that enforces policy-based automation from the edge of the network to public and private clouds using an intent-based paradigm. An example of such would be SD-Access.
