Correct is BC A northbound interface is an interface that allows a particular component of a network to communicate with a higher-level component. Conversely, a southbound interface allows a particular network component to communicate with a lower-level component. The northbound APIs on an SDN controller enable applications and orchestration systems to program the network and request services from it. Southbound interfaces are implemented with a Service Abstraction Layer (SAL) which speak to network devices using SNMP and CLI (Command Line Interface) of the elements that make up the network. The main functions of SAL are: + Expose device services and capabilities to apps + Determine how to fulfill requested service irrespective of the underlying protocol Note: + An API is a method for one application (program) to exchange data with another application. + Interface here refers to the “software interface”, not the physical interfaces.
