While most of the North Bound Interfaces (NBI) in a software defined networking (SDN) ecosystem are still at the network level, exposing plenty of details, NEMO provides an intent oriented programming language. The NEMO language is based on a generic network operation pattern and application-centric network models. The intent based network model and interface provide a high level description of requirements to the network, providing a top-down abstraction. It hides the complexity of the network implementation, but enables applications to use the network. This talk will present the concept of the intent oriented NEMO language, along with the model, pattern, interface, and use-cases.
