Systems and Methods to Construct Engineering Environment Supporting API Enablement for Software Defined Networking

摘要

The embodiments herein relate to software defined networking (SDN) and, more particularly, to a system and method to construct an engineering environment for API enablement in Software defined networking. The system enables the device use SDN functionality by designing an API model specific to that device. In order to design the device specific API model, an API enablement system initially leverages functionality/capabilities of the device. Further, by analyzing the leveraged device capabilities, the system designs the API model for the device. After implementing the API model on the device, the system performs a review function to ensure that the designed API model is in compliance with set rules and policies. The API model may be refined based on results of the review function.
