Nokia unveils AI that can reconfigure networks through human speech
- mypalmike 3y agoIs this just LLMs trained on Cisco/Juniper/etc configs?
- tesdinger 3y agoNo, it is about service provisioning on multiple routers at once. The AI uses NSP as a middleman, which in return uses APIs like Netconf, not configs.
- IshKebab 3y agoJust the sort of thing you need voice control for.
- tesdinger 3y agoThis allows people who can not operate a mouse or keyboard to do this task.
- tesdinger 3y agoThe article is really light on details, to put it nicely. > optimize networks at a concert for a barrage of social media uploads.” How is this supposed to work? Any solution I can think of requires adding hardware, and is not a software reconfiguration accessible to the AI. Building a cache in the ISP network close requires adding hardware. Fiber networks often have symmetrical bandwidth in the upload and download direction, either using two fibers or two wavelengths. So how do you optimise the upload? The only way I can see this is running ROADMs and adding wavelengths in the upload direction. However this also requires adding transceivers on the router that is client to the ROADM at the venue.
- tardoe 3y agoROADMs + dynamic reconfiguration using domain controllers is the way to go - Nokia has this sort of tech and it's well in-use by large T1 networks. Routers are often pre-patched into ROADM ports and wavelengths on longer spans are add/removed as capacity is needed.
- tesdinger 3y agoDo they have "unidirectional" transceivers to add more upload? Never heard of that just guessing.
- nerdbaggy 3y agoThe WiFi RF is FAR more important than the network config.
