Kireeti Kompella, Juniper Networks

Dr. Kireeti Kompella is Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for Juniper's engineering team. Before taking on his current role, he served as CTO, SDN at Juniper Networks. Previously, Kompella was CTO at Contrail Systems, which was acquired by Juniper in December 2012. Prior to joining Contrail, he was CTO and Chief Architect, Junos at Juniper Networks.
Abstract: This talk proposes a Networking Grand Challenge: to build a self-driving network – one that runs itself in all aspects, from self-discovery to configuration to monitoring to fault detection and remediation to real-time optimization. While there are projects to improve network management via automation, zero-touch provisioning, self-organizing networks and the like, this proposal attempts to encompass and leapfrog these efforts to get to the end goal: full autonomy. It suggests some building block technologies needed to achieve this; however, this is not expected to be a six-week or six-month effort. It also takes a stab at some of the implications of achieving full autonomy, and suggests augmentation as an alternative to autonomy.

The goal is to lay out a vision for network management of the future, and to start an open discussion on what it would take from a technology point of view, and what outcomes to expect.
