ETSI has released ENI Release 2, an industry specification for intent-based networking that defines key architectural requirements and expands the array of potential use cases. This update includes new reports on data characterization, fault identification, and the ethical implications of AI mechanisms, alongside specifications for modular system design and interoperability. The release aims to enable next-generation networks to become contextually aware and more flexible through validated proof-of-concept demonstrations. Key documents in this release cover system architecture, intent-aware autonomicity, and various AI evaluation categories for network applications.
Keywords: autonomic networks, intent-driven management, AI mechanisms, modular system design, ethical implications
