AI/ML for NFV Usecases

Image Added

6 is the number of Thoth, and Ibis/Beak-of-Ibis is one of the symbols  of Thoth - The above symbol captures both.

Introduction

AI has the potential in creating value in terms of enhanced workload availability and improved performance and efficiency for NFV use cases. This work aims to build machine-Learning models and Tools that can be used by Telcos (typically by the operations team in Telcos). Each of these models aims to solve a single problem within a particular category. For example, the first category we have chosen is Failure prediction, and we aim to create 6 models - failure prediction of VMs. Containers, Nodes,  Network-Links, Applications, and middleware services. This project also aims to define a set of data models for each of the decision-making problems, that will help both providers and consumers of the data to collaborate.

Understand the state of art - Publications and OS projects

Analyze the Gaps.

Create a 1-Page report based on the analysis.

Identify the problems in NFV for which the techniques are still not good enough.

1.5

Share the State of the art survey.

Provide initial gap analysis.

Deploy the ML Framework (Tentative: LFN Acumos).

  • Document the usage workflow
  • Try any existing model.
1.5

Provide access to the server(s).

Intel Pod?

Survey of:

  1. Existing works on AI/ML in Networking - works related to NFV - problems, ML-Techniques, Data, etc.
  2. NFV Problems - Event Correlation, VNF Placement, Anomaly Detection, VNF Failure Prediction, and Synthetic Data Generation.
  3. OSS Projects for AI/ML that can be (re)used

Timeline and Goals

...

Phase-1 Goals 

  1. Running ML-Framework with at least 3 existing models for NFV.
  2. Generate Synthetic Data using ML.
  3. Identify 3 problems for which ML can be applied in NFV - For which no acceptable models exist.
  4. Identify the ML technique that can be used for these problems.

Phase-1 Weekly Activity

12 weeks, if the Intern is working Full-time.
