Machine Learning-assisted Planning and Provisioning for SDN/NFV-enabled Metropolitan Networks

After more than ten years of research and development, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are finally going mainstream. The fifth generation telecommunication standard (5G) will make use of novel technologies to create increasingly intelligent and autonomous networks. The METRO-HAUL project proposes an advanced SDN/NFV metro-area infrastructure based on an optical backbone interconnecting edge-computing...
