Abstract
A network interface system defines standardized network service requests and related abstracted tasks. In examples, commands needed to configure particular network elements are dependent on the network being utilized and/or the network element(s) being utilized. The network interface system may include a standardization layer, an abstraction layer, and an application programming interface for each of a variety of available networks. Upon a request for a network service, the related abstracted tasks may be translated into network-specific commands to configure network elements of disparate networks to provide the requested service.
