Anita (last name?) aked during our bar-bof at IETF93:

     Network orders outside of the carrier could be done in Nemo and then it would break into the “box commands”.

Not 100% sure what she meant with "box commands". Anita, if you are on this list, please elaborate.

Possibly she meant that if a customer requests some connectivity between say 2 locations,
then "intent" should be able to express that and the IBNEMO engine would translate that into
commands for each box (device) that is onvolved in the connection. Potentially that could be CLI
commands, or possibly that could be YANG/NETCONF/RESTCONF configuration commands.

Anita?

Or anyone else who has input/views on this.
