This article introduces the architecture and mechanisms of the self-managing future Intet currently being developed by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) project EFIPSANS.In this architecture,network functions are divided into four planes:decision,dissemination,discovery,and data.Decision Elements (DEs),managed entities,and other information collecting entities at different planes comprise control loops of four layers: the protocol layer,the function layer,the node layer,and the network layer.DEs and their related control loops contribute to network self-management and self-maintenance.This greatly reduces the need for intervention in the network,thus reducing costs and improving user experience.The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has now established a new Industry Specification Group to standardize the self-managing Intet.
