1 Motivation
Network awareness includes network service/application awareness, network traffic awareness, network situation awareness, network requirements awareness, network resource awareness and so on. Among them, deep packet inspection (DPI) is a main application/service awareness technology that is beneficial to network operators in many areas such as quality of service (QoS) assurance, network management and so on.
In order to provide better service and make full use of the network resources, network operators and service providers need to sense the network timely and accurately. It is the task of network awareness technologies to sense the network timely and accurately.
By combination with big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning related technologies, network awareness can be further enhanced to intelligent network-awareness.
Based on intelligent network-awareness, operators can improve QoS and quality of experience (QoE) of the network, they can also make efficient use of network resource, reduce costs and capital investment.
Intelligent network-awareness can also be the generic core technologies and common building blocks for some application technologies which are network intelligence enhanced and dependent on intelligent network awareness tightly. The aforementioned application technologies include big data driven networking (bDDN), human-like networking (HLN), etc. Network intelligence encompasses the data, technology, algorithms, and techniques used to collect, analyse and visualise network information.
It should be emphasized that studies on big data and machine learning related technologies are out of scope for this Question.
