Providing a service includes establishing service parameter values for a service, where a service parameter value describes a metric of the service. The service parameter values are mapped to first network parameter values operable to configure a first wide area network port for a first transport mechanism. The service is provided over the first transport mechanism. The service parameter values are mapped to second network parameter values operable to configure a second wide area network port for a second transport mechanism.

Mapping services to a transport mechanism

Modeling a ring network of a network system includes creating a ring object that models the ring network. The network system includes a network element that has components. The ring object includes provisioning properties, where a provisioning property describes configuring a component to become a member of the ring network. A component is associated with the ring object to allow the component to become a member of the ring network, where the associated component is allowed to receive packets communicated by the ring network. The ring object is stored at memory of the network element.
