1. A system comprising:

  • a conflict resolution engine to derive an orthogonal network policy set that represents a first intent-based network policy and a second intent-based network policy; and

    an orthogonal policy reduction engine to;

    determine a first reduced orthogonal network policy set that combines a pair of orthogonal network policies from the orthogonal network policy set into a first reduced orthogonal network policy;

    determine a second reduced orthogonal network policy set that combines a different pair of orthogonal network policies from the orthogonal network policy set into a second reduced orthogonal network policy;

    select the first reduced orthogonal network policy set, and not the second reduced orthogonal network policy set, to implement on a target switching device based on a characteristic of the target switching device and further based on a table capability of the target switching device,wherein the table capability of the target switching device comprises a number of tables implemented by the target switching device, a table size of a table implemented by the target switching device, a number, type, or combination of actions supported by the table implemented by the target switching device, a particular action that the table implemented by the target switching device implements with increased efficiency, or any combination thereof; and

    transmit the first reduced orthogonal network policy set in a protocol-specific format supported by the target switching device.
