Abstract
A controller in a communication network may be responsible for generating a device model that defines intended forwarding behavior of a network. The device model may be generated using a target-independent universal language of network primitives. The controller may assign a first set of parameters to the device model to generate a first parameterized device model. The controller may assign a second set of parameters to the device model to generate a second parameterized device model. The controller may send the first parameterized device model or the second parameterized device model to a target device. The target device may statically or dynamically translate the received parameterized device model(s) to implementation. The controller is not required to generate a new device model for each modification made to the network: the controller may parameterized a generic device model to reflect the modifications.
