    determining, by the network management device and based on the mapping from the service model to the vendor neutral model, a subset of the plurality of nodes included in the vendor neutral model as a set of source nodes;

    for each node in the set of source nodes, generating, by the network management device and based on a target device specific model for a target network device, a mapping of nodes of the vendor neutral model to nodes of the target device specific model, the mapping to include at least one source node and an associated target node, wherein the target device does not currently support the particular network service; and
