Abstract
Example method includes: receiving, by a network device in a network, a first network policy and a second network policy configured by a network administrator, wherein the first network policy comprises a first metric and the second network policy comprises a second and different metric; detecting, by the network device, a conflict between the first network policy and the second network policy; determining, by the network device, a relationship between the first metric and the second metric; modifying, by the network device, at least one of the first network policy and the second network policy to resolve the conflict based on the relationship between the first metric and the second metric; and combining, by the network device, the first network policy and the second network policy to generate a composite network policy that is represented on a single policy graph.
