AbstractSummaryOne of the main challenges in delivering end‐to‐end service chains across multiple software‐defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) domains is to achieve unified management and orchestration functions. A very critical aspect is the definition of an open, vendor‐agnostic, and interoperable northbound interface (NBI) that should be as abstract as possible and decoupled from domain‐specific data and control plane technologies. In this paper, we propose a reference architecture and an intent‐based NBI for end‐to‐end service management across multiple technological domains. The general approach is tested in a heterogeneous OpenFlow/Internet‐of‐Things (IoT) SDN test bed, where the proposed solution is applied to a rather complex service provisioning scenario spanning three different technological domains: an IoT infrastructure deployment, a cloud‐based data collection, processing, and publishing platform, and a transport domain over a geographic network interconnecting the IoT domain and the data center hosting the cloud services.This paper presents a reference architecture and an intent‐based northbound interface for end‐to‐end service management across heterogeneous, software‐defined infrastructure domains. The general approach, inspired by the ETSI MANO framework, is tested in a hybrid OpenFlow/IoT experimental environment. The paper reports validation results that demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution in a complex service provisioning scenario, including an IoT infrastructure deployment, a cloud‐based data collection, processing, and publishing platform, and a programmable transport domain over a geographic network.
