6 Use cases for big-data-driven networking

6.1 Big-data-driven network management

Various kinds of data, such as those from traffic measurement, network configuration and network failure

configuration data and operation data with big data technologies, smart and autonomous management
allowing the traditional passive management pattern to be replaced. See Figure 6-1.
