The Network Programming software suite consists of software for developers and network architects. Using declarative and imperative programming, the software employs the programmable NSP platform to enable the automation of network operations through open, model-driven APIs that allow integration with third-party devices, OSS, and orchestrators

The Network Programming feature packages are:

• Software Development Kit

• Intent Based Networking Framework

• Workflow Automation Engine

Note: The Intent Based Networking Framework and Workflow Automation Engine feature packages are required if you intend to modify existing Nokia-provided workflows or intent types, or plan on creating your own workflow or intent types from scratch.

Network Developer Portal

The Network Developer Portal provides information and an environment to support the development of the programmable artifacts used by the NSP.

The Software Development Kit feature package enables the use of an SDK to facilitate adaptor development in the Model Driven Mediation environment. The NSP SDK is a separately installable package that is available for download by registered customers from the NSP software delivery site.

The Intent Based Networking Framework feature package enables developers to manage the lifecycle of network and service intents using Network Intents.

The Workflow Management Framework feature package enables developers and administrators to manage the lifecycle of workflows using NSP Workflows.
