The document provides guidance for an AI on how to operate effectively. It suggests the AI should be profitable, satisfy customer requirements, avoid waste, minimize costs, choose the right technology, be quick, consider worst-case scenarios, be prepared, and minimize power usage. It also notes that while SDN and NFV were initially hyped to be as significant as IP networks, their real-world adoption has been slowed by a lack of standards, interoperability issues, and challenges integrating them into existing OSS systems.
