+= Goal State Data Model
+Liguang Xie <lxie@futurewei.com>
+v0.1, 2019-10-15
+:toc: right
+
+=== Overview
+
+This goal state data model is mainly used for communication channel between Regional Controller and Host Agent.
+It support programming of groups of network resources to the same host in one message.
+The resource grouping could have various combinations including:
+
+* Multiple resource instances (e.g., 100 ports for the same host)
+* Multiple resource types (e.g., security group + port)
+* Multiple resource operation types (e.g., security group update + port creation)
+* Across VPC and subnet boundaries (security group update in VPC 1 + port creation in VPC 2)
+
+
+=== Messaging APIs
+
+*src/schema/proto3/goalstateprovisioner.proto*
+
+[source,java]
+------------------------------------------------------------
+syntax = "proto3";
+
+package alcorcontroller;
+
+option java_package = "com.futurewei.alcor.controller.service";
+
+import "common.proto";
+import "goalstate.proto";
+
+service GoalStateProvisioner {
+
+    // Push a group of network resource states
+    //
+    // Input: a GoalState object consists of a list of operation requests, and each request contains an operation type and a resource configuration
+    // Results consist of a list of operation statuses, and each status is a response to one operation request in the input
+    //
+    // Note: It is a NoOps for Control Agents when the operation type is INFO or GET.
+    //       Use RetrieveNetworkResourceStates for state query.
+    rpc PushNetworkResourceStates (GoalState) returns (GoalStateOperationReply) {
+    }
+
+    // Retrieve a group of network resource states (stored as a steam of GoalState objects)
+    rpc RetrieveNetworkResourceStates (GoalStateRequest) returns (stream GoalState) {
+    }
+}
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+=== Message Format
+
+* Goal state message.
+The goal state message allows any combination of VpcState, SubnetState, PortState and SecurityGroupState, and grouping of them.
+For example, one message could consists of one subnet state update with 1000 ports creation to a data-plane switch, or two VPC update to a single VM/container host.
