Set (write) one or more policies into a component, that is, immediately pushed/updated 3. Distribute a set of policies to multiple components that match the scope of those policies, for immediate use (forced) or later use (upon need, e.g., time determined) by those entities Figure 7.11 shows policy creation on the left, policy repository and distribution at the bottom, and policy use on the right (e.g., in control loops, or in VNFs). As shown in Figure 7.11, policy creation is in close association with SDC. When fully integrated, policies will be created either in
