ABSTRACT:
A network state platform for managing a network having a number of network nodes is disclosed. A user provides a policy layer a high level instruction indicative of the desired network performance. The policy layer parses the high level instruction to generate a number of configuration instructions for the network nodes. The network nodes provide data logs of their activity to a data layer that collates the logs into a single entry that is stored, and can be accessed by an observation layer. External applications interface with the observation layer to access the stored data and use this information to generate requests to change portions of the network configuration. These requests are provided to a control layer that converts the requests from the applications to a high level instruction that is then provided to the policy layer to implement.
