Intent pre-evaluation method and apparatus

An intent pre-evaluation method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first network element, pre-evaluation information of impact on a network key performance indicator KPI from a second network element;
• receiving, by the first network element, first information from a third network element, wherein the first information comprises one or more of the following:
• operation impact information or second KPI impact information, the operation impact information indicates mutual exclusion information of a second operation, the second KPI impact information indicates impact of the second operation on the network KPI, and the second operation is an operation that affects the network KPI;
• determining, by the first network element based on the first information, an evaluation value corresponding to the pre-evaluation information;
• and
• sending, by the first network element, the evaluation value to the second network element.

An intent pre-evaluation apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one processor and a communication interface, and the at least one processor is configured to invoke a computer program stored in at least one memory, so that the apparatus implements the method:

• receiving an intent target and a pre-evaluation type from a second network element, wherein the pre-evaluation type comprises pre-evaluation information of an intent achievement result or pre-evaluation information of impact on a network key performance indicator KPI, and the intent target comprises a first operation;
• receiving first information from a third network element, wherein the first information comprises one or more of the following:
• operation impact information or first KPI impact information, the operation impact information indicates mutual exclusion information of the first operation, and the first KPI impact information indicates impact of the first operation on a KPI associated with the intent target or impact of the first operation on the network KPI;
• determining based on the first information, result information corresponding to the pre-evaluation type, wherein the result information comprises pre-evaluation information of an intent achievement result or pre-evaluation information of impact on a KPI;
• and
• sending the result information to the second network element.
