Policy Proposal: National Implementation of Intent-Based Networking (IBN) Through VELSANET MAS Framework

📘 Policy Proposal: National Implementation of Intent-Based Networking (IBN) Through VELSANET MAS Framework

1. Background of the Proposal

With the rise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the demands placed on networking have evolved beyond mere connectivity. Networks are now expected to interpret users' intent in real-time and autonomously respond. While Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is gaining attention as a promising approach, current implementations remain limited—layered atop traditional internet and cloud infrastructures.

This proposal recommends the introduction of the VELSANET-based MAS (Multi-Agent System) framework as a foundational infrastructure for realizing IBN at the national level.

2. Limitations of Current IBN and the Need for VELSANET

2.1 Challenges in Existing IBN Approaches

• Heavy reliance on cloud and centralized servers → resource-heavy and security-vulnerable
• Overlay on IP-based packet networks → unpredictable traffic flow and bottlenecks
• Limited automation scope → falls short of full network autonomy

2.2 Structural Advantages of VELSANET

• Multi-layer polyhedral structure: Encodes user location, purpose, time, and context as structural addresses
• MAS framework: Role-based AI at each layer → enables intent interpretation, fulfillment, and assurance
• Parallel optical-core-based E2E connectivity: Ultra-low latency, high reliability, no central dependency

3. Core Proposal: National-Level Realization of IBN via VELSANET + MAS

3.1 Design Philosophy

"IBN is not just a technology—it is a structural shift, and only VELSANET can realize it."

3.2 Proposed Policy Application Areas

• National Digital Infrastructure: Public, disaster, healthcare, and education networks as citizen-centered services
• Autonomous Urban Traffic Systems: V2X, smart cities, AI-driven route orchestration
• AI-Enabled Government Services: Automated administration, intelligent public service agents, chatbots
• Future Financial Networks: Digital currencies, cross-border transfers, trust-based transaction systems

4. Implementation Roadmap

Phase 1: Proof of Concept

• Establish MAS testbeds in designated smart city zones
• Verify real-time network responsiveness through IBN-driven scenarios

Phase 2: National Infrastructure Expansion

• Deploy MAS framework in public and transportation networks
• Design unified ID-Networks based on VELSANET’s polyhedral addressing system

Phase 3: Legislation and International Collaboration

• Define MAS/IBN-based network standards and distributed AI behavioral frameworks
• Coordinate with international bodies (ITU, IETF) for benchmarking and harmonization

5. Expected Outcomes

• Realization of a fully autonomous, user-intent-centric national network
• Reduction in network maintenance costs and risk via self-healing AI logic
• Strategic infrastructure for digital government, smart mobility, and future finance
• Fundamental alternative to cloud/server-centric legacy architectures

6. Conclusion

IBN is not just a tool for automation—it is the architectural foundation of a future where networks understand and respond to human intent. This is not a patch to existing infrastructure, but a complete reimagining—made possible only through the VELSANET MAS framework.

Now is the moment to position VELSANET-based MAS infrastructure at the core of the nation's digital transformation strategy.

For Korea to lead the world into the era of Intent-Based Networking, what we need is not just more technology—but a new structure.
