Network applications and OAM have various data requirements from the data plane. The unpredictable and interactive nature of the query for network data analytics asks for dynamic and on-demand data collection capabilities. As user programmable and configurable data plane is becoming a reality, it can be extended to support interactive query through DNPs. DNP supports node, path, and flow-based data preprocessing and collection. For example, in-situ OAM (iOAM) with user-defined flow-based data collection can be programmed and configured through DNP. DNPs serve as a building block of an integrated network data telemetry and analytics platform which involves the network data plane as an active component for user- defined data collection and preparation.}, }
