Core Network and Interoperability Testing (INT) – Approaches for Testing Adaptive Networks

Abstract

The characteristics of ‘adaptive networks’ such as virtualization, self-organization, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-learning offer huge advantages in future networks. While technologies such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Self-Organizing Networks (SON), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Autonomic Network Infrastructure (AFI) may not each exhibit all the characteristics they do have one thing in common: they are all dynamic rather than static, reacting to dynamic traffic conditions, applications, service demands as well as to changes in the eco-system environment. This work item will develop a methodology (guide) that will extend current experience and testing approaches. © Copyright 2022, ETSI
