Abstract

This document explores the role of the IETF and IRTF in advancing Artificial Intelligence for network operations (AINetOps), focusing on requirements for IETF protocols and architectures. AINetOps applies AI/ML techniques to automate and optimize network operations, enabling use cases such as reactive troubleshooting, proactive assurance, closed-loop optimization, misconfiguration detection, and virtual operator assistance. The document addresses AINetOps for both single-layer IP or Optical networks and multi-layer IP/Optical networks. It defines the concept of AINetOps for networking and provides its operational benefits such as network assurance, predictive analytics, network optimization, multi-layer planning, and more. It aims to guide the evolution of IETF protocols to support AINetOps-driven network management.
