Is the following about network architecture and network technologies accurate? In network architecture and network technologies, many vendors are suggesting "Intent-based networking" as the logical next step beyond software-defined network. While the idea behind intent-based networking is not that recent (with indications of this being more than 10 years old) I have yet to find a practical implementation of the idea. Most vendor resources on this also indicate that this is a "roadmap item" rather than already reality. Is intent-based networking currently still slideware, or are there already companies with tangible experience here?
