Explanation
Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator), originally developed by Tail-f, is a network automation and orchestration platform that acts as a bridge between high-level automation systems (such as SDN controllers, OSS/BSS systems, or custom scripts) and the physical or virtual network infrastructure. It uses device drivers called Network Element Drivers (NEDs) to communicate with physical routers, switches, and other devices using their native protocols (CLI, SNMP, NETCONF, RESTCONF). NSO is not a GUI for wireless management (A), not a REST API type (B), and does not use CLI only (C) - it supports multiple southbound interfaces and provides model-driven, multi-vendor network service orchestration.
