Existing network management architectures suffer from the inability to define and use business processes to drive the configuration andmanagement of network resources. Business-Driven Device Management is a new paradigm that enables business rules to manage theconstruction of configuration files and commands for a device as well as enforce how the configuration of a device is created, verified,approved, and deployed. BDDM uses different types of policies to manage the different aspects of providing network services. Thesepolicies form a continuum that represents the complete life cycle (from order to creation to tear-down) of network services, bridge theautomation gap between the service and element layers, and controls which network services and resources are allocated to which users.
