Methods for Construction and Analysis of the Intent-Based Networks Performance

Abstract

One of the main trends in telecommunications industry is the increasing complexity and scale of operational processes accompanying the control systems transition to service-oriented, programmable and software-controlled architecture. Implementation of functions related to the network management and control processes automation and providing services requires development of a new structured approach for further use in the practical context. This paper proposes a method for constructing future intent-based networks based on using the system simulation methodology and on the open digital architecture notation. Management and control system uses double feedback during the main stages of design, development, implementation and deployment. Effectiveness of solutions at each project iteration is evaluated taking into account requirements of the previous iteration, their real implementation and requirements of the next iteration. Study results could be used in design and operation of future communication networks implementing the intent-based control concept.
