| 8 | + * The controller core provides a suite of built-in intents and their compilers | ||
| 9 | + * and installers. However, the intent framework is extensible in that it allows | ||
| 10 | + * additional intents and their compilers or installers to be added | ||
| 11 | + * dynamically at run-time. This allows others to enhance the initial arsenal of | ||
| 12 | + * connectivity and policy-based intents available in base controller software. | ||
| 13 | + * <p/> | ||
| 14 | + * The following diagram depicts the state transition diagram for each top-level intent:<br> | ||
| 15 | + * <img src="doc-files/intent-states.png" alt="ONOS intent states"> | ||
| 16 | + * <p/> | ||
| 17 | + * The controller core accepts the intent specifications and translates them, via a | ||
| 18 | + * process referred to as intent compilation, to installable intents, which are | ||
| 19 | + * essentially actionable operations on the network environment. | ||
| 20 | + * These actions are carried out by intent installation process, which results | ||
| 21 | + * in some changes to the environment, e.g. tunnel links being provisioned, | ||
| 22 | + * flow rules being installed on the data-plane, optical lambdas being reserved. | ||
| 23 | + * <p/> | ||
| 24 | + * After an intent is submitted by an application, it will be sent immediately | ||
| 25 | + * (but asynchronously) into a compiling phase, then to installing phase and if | ||
| 26 | + * all goes according to plan into installed state. Once an application decides | ||
| 27 | + * it no longer wishes the intent to hold, it can withdraw it. This describes | ||
| 28 | + * the nominal flow. However, it may happen that some issue is encountered. | ||
| 29 | + * For example, an application may ask for an objective that is not currently | ||
| 30 | + * achievable, e.g. connectivity across to unconnected network segments. | ||
| 31 | + * If this is the case, the compiling phase may fail to produce a set of | ||
| 32 | + * installable intents and instead result in a failed compile. If this occurs, | ||
| 33 | + * only a change in the environment can trigger a transition back to the | ||
| 34 | + * compiling state. | ||
| 35 | + * <p/> | ||
| 36 | + * Similarly, an issue may be encountered during the installation phase in | ||
| 37 | + * which case the framework will attempt to recompile the intent to see if an | ||
| 38 | + * alternate approach is available. If so, the intent will be sent back to | ||
| 39 | + * installing phase. Otherwise, it will be parked in the failed state. Another | ||
| 40 | + * scenario that’s very likely to be encountered is where the intent is | ||
| 41 | + * successfully compiled and installed, but due to some topology event, such | ||
| 42 | + * as a downed or downgraded link, loss of throughput may occur or connectivity | ||
| 43 | + * may be lost altogether, thus impacting the viability of a previously | ||
| 44 | + * satisfied intent. If this occurs, the framework will attempt to recompile | ||
| 45 | + * the intent, and if an alternate approach is available, its installation | ||
| 46 | + * will be attempted. Otherwise, the original top-level intent will be parked | ||
| 47 | + * in the failed state. | ||
| 48 | + * <p/> | ||
| 49 | + * Please note that all *ing states, depicted in orange, are transitional and | ||
| 50 | + * are expected to last only a brief amount of time. The rest of the states | ||
| 51 | + * are parking states where the intent may spent some time; except for the | ||
| 52 | + * submitted state of course. There, the intent may pause, but only briefly, | ||
| 53 | + * while the system determines where to perform the compilation or while it | ||
| 54 | + * performs global recomputation/optimization across all prior intents. | ||
