A Scalable Network Modeling Method Oriented to Digital Twin
Network Modeling is the foundation of Digital Twin Network.In digital twin applications such as network testing,validation,and training,there are lots of uncertainties in terms of the device composi-tion,topology,routing selection,business applications and user behavior of the target network.So the digital twin network model needs to adapt to different types of target network characteristics,and meet the needs of expanding network elements in the future.Motivated by solving these problems,the paper analy-zes the composition of network model elements,and proposes a scalable network modeling method based on meta-modeling framework.The proposed method standardizes the network model description with net-work meta-model data structure,supports instantiation registration of different types of network models,supports the binding of network models and physical resources,and realizes unified management of the network model resources.
