Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for assurance of quality-of-service configurations in a network. In some examples, a system obtains a logical model of a software-defined network, the logical model including rules specified for the software-defined network, the logical model being based on a schema defining manageable objects and object properties for the software-defined network. The system also obtains, for each node in the software-defined network, a respective hardware model, the respective hardware model including rules rendered at the node based on a respective node-specific representation of the logical model. Based on the logical model and the respective hardware model, the system can perform an equivalency check between the rules in the logical model and the rules in the respective hardware model to determine whether the logical model and the respective hardware model contain configuration inconsistencies.
