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, Operations Support System (OSS), and orchestrators.

The Network Programming software suite consists of the NSP Developer feature package.

The NSP Developer feature package is required if you intend to modify existing Nokia-provided artifacts, such as adaptors, workflows or intent types, plan on creating your own artifacts from scratch, or to install artifact bundles that are not signed by Nokia.

The NSP Developer feature package includes the following:

• Intent-Based Networking Framework

  The Intent-Based Networking Framework installation option enables NSP users to create and manage network and service intents using Network Intents.

• Workflow Automation Engine

  The Workflow Management Framework installation option enables NSP users to create and manage workflows using NSP Workflows.

• Software Development Kit

  The Software Development Kit (SDK) enables the use of an SDK to facilitate adaptor development in the MDM environment. The NSP SDK is a separate package that is available for download and installation by registered customers from the NSP software delivery site.

Network Developer Portal

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