Adaptive Network Control is a dynamic approach to managing and optimizing network traffic. It adjusts resources, enforces policies, and responds to changing conditions in real time to ensure performance and security.
What is Adaptive Network Control?
It is a methodology that uses intelligent algorithms to adapt how networks handle traffic. This may include bandwidth allocation, application prioritization, and security responses.
Why is It Important?
- Performance: ensures smooth user experiences.
- Security: responds to anomalies in real time.
- Efficiency: optimizes resource usage.
How Does It Work?
- Traffic analysis – monitors flow continuously.
- Policy adjustment – changes access or priority dynamically.
- Automation – leverages AI/ML for decision-making.
Adaptive Control vs Traditional Control
Traditional network control is static. Adaptive control adjusts in real time, responding to demand, threats, or performance issues.
Use Cases
- Prioritizing VoIP traffic over bulk downloads.
- Adjusting bandwidth during peak hours.
- Blocking suspicious connections automatically.
