ABSTRACT
Networks have become considerably large, complex and dynamic. The configuration, operation,
monitoring, and troubleshooting of networks is a cumbersome and time-consuming task for the network
administrators as they must deal with the physical layer, underlying protocols, addressing systems, control
rules, and many other low-level details. This research paper proposes an Intent-based networking system
(IBNS) coupled with voice-assistance that can abstract the underlying network infrastructure and allow
administrators to alter its behavior by expressing intents via voice commands. The system also displays the
real-time network topology along with the highlighted intents on an interactive web application that can be
used for network diagnostics. Compared to traditional networks, the concepts of software-defined
networking (SDN) make it easier to integrate a voice assistant that allows configuring the network based
on intents.
