Knowledge-defined networking using in-band network telemetry

Abstract

Today's network is rapidly growing in terms of the number of connected devices and becomes more complex, making the complexity of network management increasing. Self-driving network concept is arising to solve those problems and a good candidate for the closed-loop network management solution. Knowledge-defined Networking (KDN), network telemetry and Software-defined Networking (SDN) are fundamental building blocks to realize self-driving network. Using the self-driving network, OPEX can be reduced and the performance of the network can be grown. In this paper, we propose an architecture for collecting network telemetry and combining KDN to work with SDN and P4 INT. We also suggest several use-cases for the self-driving network architecture.
