Motivation
Deep packet inspection (DPI) is beneficial to network operators in many areas such as service/application awareness, 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. By combination with big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning related technologies, network awareness can be further enhanced.
Based on deep packet inspection and 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.
Deep packet inspection and intelligent network-awareness can also be the generic core technologies and common building blocks for some application technologies which depend on deep packet inspection and intelligent network awareness tightly such as big data driven networking (bDDN).
It should be emphasized that studies on big data and machine learning related technologies are out of scope for this Question.
