Decomposing Autonomous Driving Networks: Get out of the Loop, be Ready for Closed Loop

The services become more and more complex. With this increased complexity and, at the same time, an increased frequency of changes in networks, we need to get the humans out of the loop, to focus on automation. Now that configuration management is on the right track, what about the next? The assurance is key.

In this session, we will decompose the Autonomous Driving Network vision into smaller pragmatic steps. Some of those steps require prototypes, research, and key standard developments, which we will cover in this presentation.

Biography

Joined Huawei Ireland Research Center on Feb 2021 (ex-Cisco Fellow), as Data Communication Intelligent Operations Management CTO, focusing on realizing the ADN vision these days with his team in Ireland. For the last couple of years, Benoit has been mainly focusing on configuration management, network automation, data-model driven management. The latest focus is on the service assurance, with the model-driven telemetry for closed loop automation, on digital map, and intent ... as building blocks to reduce the cost of managing networks. Served a 6 years term as IETF Operational and Management Area Director, Contributor to the IETF with 35 RFCs, exclusively focused on the YANG models standardization throughout the industry, a labor-intensive but necessary step for the automatic configuration (via NETCONF or RESTCONF) required in today Software Defined Network world. Benoit also published the books, including Network Programmability with YANG: The Structure of Network Automation with YANG, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gNMI and Network management: Accounting and Performance Strategies.
