Summary

Artificial intelligence technologies, network awareness technologies, network self-restructuring technologies and other technologies applied into a network area can bring about network innovation and a new network architecture. Introducing human-like features into a network can help the network make full use of human advantages and create a new network architecture called human-like networking.

Recommendation ITU-T Y.3680 specifies a framework for human-like networking. This Recommendation specifies aspects of human-like networking. The scope of this Recommendation includes an overview of human-like networking, a framework of human-like networking, a generic architecture model for human-like networking based on function and capability, the relationship between layers, sub-networks and networks for human-like networking, an interface aspect of human-like networking and security considerations.
