Hi Aaron, interesting …making routers do what you intend…hmmm… Sounds like SDN J …how does what you are doing differ from the intent-based-controller driven sdn concepts that I hear so much about these days. BTW, I did the survey. - Aaron From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Aaron Gember-Jacobson Sent: Friday, September 7, 2018 8:52 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Study on configuration change practices We are a team of networking researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Colgate University investigating methods for automatically synthesizing router configurations from high-level requirements (or intents). To guide our research, we seek to better understand the configuration change practices used in production networks. We would appreciate if you could take 3 minutes to complete our brief, anonymous survey: https://colgate.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3ee26xayy70jP3D To learn more about our research, visit <http://aaron.gember-jacobson.com/research/repair> http://aaron.gember-jacobson.com/research/repair Thanks, Aaron Gember-Jacobson Assistant Professor of Computer Science Colgate University
