Eastbound Interface API: In networking, an Eastbound Interface API refers to the application programming interface that enables communication and data exchange from a network controller to higher-level management systems or applications. It supports the upward flow of network information, such as topology details or traffic statistics, which can be used for analytics, policy decision-making, network optimization, or orchestrating services across the network. In Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments, the Eastbound API allows the SDN controller to interact with more abstract layers, like service management platforms or business logic applications.
