Packet Design CTO to Discuss Self-Driving Network Customer Use Cases at AI Net and MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress


Advances in management software are making self-driving networks possible. Packet Design (News - Alert) CTO Cengiz Alaettinoglu will discuss real use cases in Paris this week at both the MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress and concurrent AI Net conferences.

Topic: Proactive Service Restoration and the Role of Machine Learning

In one case study Alaettinoglu will describe how, in response to the threat of an optical interface failure, critical traffic was rerouted to other paths in the network before the link failed. This was accomplished in a real-world environment with software that used link interface statistics and NetFlow data as well as routing telemetry and analytics to predict the interface issue. He will then explain how this self-driving network used machine learning algorithms for simple baselining as well as for complex path calculations using neural networks.



In addition, Alaettinoglu will provide other automation examples, including the provisioning of service paths with assured bandwidth or specific constraints, on-demand traffic engineering, and multi-layer traffic engineering.
