When you say generate results, those models generate results based on what? Can 
you give some examples?

Policy will describe an action on device or on a network service, as in general 
policy is defined as a set of match condition(s) followed by an action. I would 
even say that most policies are for network service models.

We haven’t created device as generic network element, but with networking in 
mind. You can view it as generic. Device should always provide what it is 
capable of and it is a superset into which all other models must fit.
