Spom Link Create [BEST]

Most SPOM link frameworks embed logging. Every time a link is used, the system records who accessed what data, aiding GDPR, HIPAA, or SOX compliance.

In a modern SPoM environment, an SDN controller (e.g., ONOS, ODL, Cisco NSO) listens to a link database or a topology discovery service (BGP-LS, LLDP). When a new physical link is plugged, the controller:

The "create" is thus an event-driven transaction: spom link create

POST /restconf/data/links
"link": 
    "source": "PE1:GE0/0/0/0",
    "destination": "P1:GE0/0/0/1",
    "ipv4": "192.168.1.0/31",
    "mpls": true,
    "igp": "ospf-area-0",
    "ldp": true

The controller returns a transaction ID, and the link is provisioned across both devices atomically.


When spom link create is executed, the SPoM engine performs these steps in order: Most SPOM link frameworks embed logging

  • Resource Reservation

  • Link Record Generation

  • Dependency Update

  • Callback / Notification
