Query: Intent-driven Autonomous Network and Service Management in Future
  Networks: A Structured Literature Review   Intent driven networks are an essential stepping stone in the evolution of
network and service management towards a truly autonomous paradigm. User
centric intents provide an abstracted means of impacting the design,
provisioning, deployment and assurance of network infrastructure and services
with the help of service level agreements and minimum network capability
exposure. The concept of Intent-based networking (IBN) poses several challenges
in terms of the contextual definition of intents, role of different
stakeholders, and a generalized architecture. In this review, we provide a
comprehensive analysis of the state-of-the-art in IBN including the intent
description models, intent lifecycle management, significance of IBN and a
generalized architectural framework along with challenges and prospects for IBN
in future networks. An analytical study is performed on the data collected from
relevant studies primarily focusing on the inter-working of IBN with
softwarized networking based on NFV/SDN infrastructures. Critical functions
required in the IBN management and service model design are explored with
different abstract modeling techniques and a converged architectural framework
is proposed. The key findings include: 1) benefits and role of IBN in
autonomous networking, 2) improvements needed to integrate intents as
fundamental policies for service modeling and network management, 3) need for
appropriate representation models for intents in domain agnostic abstract
manner, and 4) need to include learning as a fundamental function in autonomous
networks. These observations provide the basis for in-depth investigation and
standardization efforts for IBN as a fundamental network management paradigm in
beyond 5G networks.
