Deploying policy or configuration based on an abstract view of the underlying network is much better than manipulating each individual network element, however, in this case, the policy and configuration cannot be recognized by the network elements. This document describes guidelines for mapping configuration and policy into device-level configuration and the way in which such SUPA models will be processed by software to produce configuration details for actual devices. The SUPA framework overview and primary procedures of mapping are proposed. Moreover, an exemplary mapping scenario is provided to illustrate the mechanism involved.}, }
