Abstract
The present technology discloses non-transitory computer-readable media, systems, and methods for receiving a notification that an identified physical object has attached to a roaming network, wherein the identified physical object is roaming when on the roaming network; translating at least one policy intent that was defined at a home network for the identified physical object into a policy suitable to be applied by the roaming network; and sending, to the roaming network, the at least one translated policy intent to be applied to the identified physical object on the roaming network.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions being effective to cause at least one processor to:
- receive a notification that an identified physical object has attached to a roaming network, wherein the identified physical object is roaming when on the roaming network;
- translate at least one policy intent that was defined at a home network for the identified physical object into a policy suitable to be applied by the roaming network;
- send, to the roaming network, the at least one translated policy intent to be applied to the identified physical object on the roaming network;
- and
- receive the at least one policy intent for the identified physical object, wherein the at least one policy intent includes at least one objective paired with at least one of an access type for the identified physical object, a location of the identified physical object, and an attribute of the roaming network.

A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, the instructions being effective to cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a notification that an identified physical object has attached to a roaming network, wherein the identified physical object is roaming when on the roaming network;
- translate at least one policy intent that was defined at a home network for the identified physical object into a policy suitable to be applied by the roaming network;
- send, to the roaming network, the at least one translated policy intent to be applied to the identified physical object on the roaming network;
- and
- receive the at least one policy intent for the identified physical object, wherein the at least one policy intent includes at least one objective paired with at least one of an access type for the identified physical object, a location of the identified physical object, and an attribute of the roaming network.

A method comprising:
- receiving a notification that an identified physical object has attached to a roaming network, wherein the identified physical object is roaming when on the roaming network;
- translating at least one policy intent that was defined at a home network for the identified physical object into a policy suitable to be applied by the roaming network;
- sending, to the roaming network, the at least one translated policy intent to be applied to the identified physical object on the roaming network;
- and
- receiving the at least one policy intent for the identified physical object, wherein the at least one policy intent includes at least one objective paired with at least one of an access type for the identified physical object, a location of the identified physical object, and an attribute of the roaming network.
