What is Intent-Based Networking?
Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is an advanced network management approach that allows operators to define the desired outcome of the network rather than manually configuring every technical detail. Instead of focusing on how the network should operate, administrators specify what they want the network to achieve, such as guaranteeing low latency or service reliability. Intelligent automation continuously monitors the infrastructure and adjusts configurations to keep the network aligned with these objectives. This simplifies operations, reduces human error, and improves overall network efficiency.
