[API Proposal] Network Contract Lifecycle Management (N‑CLM) API

[abd-abhisek]

Description
The N‑CLM API provides a unified way for enterprises to digitally manage long‑term network SLA contracts across their full lifecycle. It allows customers to define measurable expectations such as bandwidth, latency, availability, and error thresholds, and continuously track how the network performs against those commitments. When any parameter moves outside the agreed boundary, the API lets the subscriber know the breach with clear details. N‑CLM also supports contract activation, updates, amendments, and closure in a consistent, operator‑agnostic manner. It brings modern, developer‑friendly governance to network SLAs, improving transparency and trust for critical applications.

Use cases
A customer sets an SLA requiring latency < 50 ms. If latency exceeds that limit, N‑CLM immediately informs the subscriber of the breach (webhook/event subscription etc), including the metric and timeframe, enabling quick diagnosis and follow‑up
