1. An Architecture of Network Artificial Intelligence(NAI)
Publication: IETF Individual Draft
Publication History: 2016-10
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-li-rtgwg-network-ai-arch-00
Description:
Artificial intelligence is an important technical trend in the industry. With the development of network, it is necessary to introduce artificial intelligence technology to achieve self- adjustment, self- optimization, self-recovery of the network through collection of huge data of network state and machine learning. This draft defines the architecture of Network Artificial Intelligence (NAI), including the key components and the key protocol extension requirements.
2. Network Telemetry Framework
Publication: IETF WG Draft
Publication History: 2020-04
Publication URL: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-opsawg-ntf-03
Description:
Network telemetry is the technology for gaining network insight and facilitating efficient and automated network management. It engages various techniques for remote data collection, correlation, and consumption. This document provides an architectural framework for network telemetry, motivated by the network operation challenges and requirements. As evidenced by some key characteristics and industry practices, network telemetry covers technologies and protocols beyond the conventional network Operations, Administration, and Management (OAM). It promises better flexibility, scalability, accuracy, coverage, and performance and allows automated control loops to suit both today’s and tomorrow’s network operation. This document clarifies the terminologies and classifies the modules and components of a network telemetry system from several different perspectives. The framework and taxonomy help to set a common ground for the collection of related work and provide guidance for related technique and standard developments.
