12. A method, comprising: receiving, by at least a hardware component, source commands to establish a configuration to control a computer networking function in a computer networking device, wherein the source commands are written in a source command language; selectively translating, by at least the hardware component, the source commands from the source command language to target commands written in a target command language, wherein the translation is based, at least in part, on a function-to-function translation model; and establishing, by at least the hardware component, the configuration in the computer networking device based on the target commands.

The method of claim 12 , wherein the translation that is based, at least in part, on the function-to-function translation model comprises: identifying functional effects that would be produced by executing the source commands in a given order; identifying functional effects that would be produced by executing the target commands in a given order; identifying functional effects that can be produced both by the source commands being executed in a given order and by the target commands being executed in a given order; and identifying a first functional effect that can be produced by the source commands being executed in a given order and a related second functional effect that can be produced by the target commands being executed in a given order.
