Abstract: Managing modern networks is becoming much more complicated: supported protocols and services are increasing; hosts and network functions are moving around; bandwidth are dynamically allocated caused by SLA and QoS. Self-driving networking is a promising solution to address such complexity. The concept of self-driving is built upon several key technologies, including knowledge defined network, network telemetry, and intent-based and software defined networking. In this talk, I will cover two related topics. In the first part, I will share our recent research on Intelligent Defined Network Telemetry or IDNT.IDNT aims atproviding an intelligent-defined network monitoring framework, which could be seamlessly incorporated into the conceptual knowledge plane for self-driving network. In the second part, I will discuss a related but more fundamental question: what we can and should learn from highly visible networks that empowered by several recent advances on network telemetry? I will compare the differences on the knowledge obtained from causal inference and machine learning respectively.
