4. Terminology
◦ Routers are small devices that join multiple computer networks
together
◦ Core network offers numerous services to the customers
◦ Backbone is designed to transfer network traffic at high speeds
◦ Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network,
or between or across multiple networks
◦ Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol for Internet
Protocol (IP) networks
20. 3.1 Input and Output Design
◦ Adopt traffic patterns as the input of deep learning model
◦ Deep learning structure is utilized to compute the routing path
◦ Routing path as the output of the model
◦ Fig. 3a demonstrates that the traffic pattern is served as the input to the deep
learning structure and processed for the routing path decision as the output
◦ Key challenge is to characterize the input and output of the deep learning
structure
◦ In order to characterize the input, we use the traffic pattern at each router
that may be defined as the number of inbound packets of the router during
each time interval as shown in Fig. 3b
