Abstract
Smart network management automation (SNMA) is a technology that enables the automation of network management tasks. It provides a platform for automating network management, allowing administrators to manage their networks more reliably and efficiently. It provides the tools to monitor and manage network performance, identify and troubleshoot problems, and automate the deployment of new services and applications. SNMA also allows for scalability to meet the needs of any organization, regardless of size or complexity. With SNMA, network administrators can quickly and accurately identify problems, increase network uptime, and reduce time spent on manual tasks. The SNMA provides the ability to adjust configurations quickly and respond to changes in the network environment. It can help reduce costs and improve the efficiency of network operations. This paper proposed an intelligent network management automation algorithm for network administration and management in 5G communication networks. The proposed algorithm achieved 91.82% of remote network administration, 95.25% of global network administration, 96.59% of urban network administration, and 95.07% of local network administration. It creates a single submission to the network to make configuration changes, register network resources, manage users’ IP addresses, and filter packets to ensure information security and other tasks.
1. Introduction
One of the emerging motivations for reduced computing models is the complexity of managing a distributed computing environment [1]. To avoid similar problems, it is necessary to rethink the structure of the information system; such precursors are expected shortly [2]. A server DBMS (Database Management System) application is the most suitable solution. The ultimate goal of network management is to achieve operational parameters of IP that suit users’ needs [3]. Users use network traffic characteristics to monitor network traffic characteristics, server response time for certain types of requests and features of execution management scenarios, and the behavior of applications launched daily on their desktop in 5G communication channels [4, 5]. The general trend in network and system management is changing the emphasis from monitoring individual resources or their groups to the concept of dynamic management to increase the satisfaction of the demands of the end users of information technologies [6]. Such an approach requires identifying both the availability of methods for analyzing user behavior, their priorities, and the problems that arise in everyday work [7]. For users, applications, and networks: The results obtained in this phase will be implemented as a starting point. The performance of user applications and the nature of operational interruption, the word “active,” do not match the expected service level the user receives. It is recommended to use analytical solutions for decision-making support and adequate response to emerging problems [8, 9]. It is possible to believe that these factors are governed by network and system administration service utilization and quality [10].
A particular problem relates to the creation of integrated “low-cut” controls, allowing the incorporation of established management systems into stakeholder systems [11]. The relevance of this task increases with the widespread distribution of extranet networks [12]. Intranet technologies were introduced into corporate information systems which are not necessary without management [13]. Thus, the widespread practice of employees working from home on corporate networks requires suppliers to develop new tools in access management and information security [14]. Independent value represents the means of managing web resources not only concerning internal and extranet networks but to a greater extent due to the spread of e-commerce [15]. The evolution of management concepts touched not only the structures of organizations. New problems arising in distributed media sometimes make network control a significant concern for information system administrators [16]. The number of applications and databases running on the network exceeded the value of some jargon. At the same time, the role of system management has increased, and integrating integrated system and network management is inevitable [17]. It means that managing a complex heterogeneous network is a more complex task than, for example, control over the operation of network printers [18, 19].
An integrated network management system (INMS) is a control system that integrates functions related to analysis, diagnostics, and network management [20]. In this case, network administration sometimes began to be considered one of the many component areas of system administration. The network is a jointly managed resource of 5G communication channels, peripherals, databases, applications, etc. [21, 22]. Programs for developing management mechanisms usually include the tasks of strategic management, the development of information support policies and access to information resources and software and hardware devices, systems and premises, and creating systems [23, 24]. Modern technologies do not stand still, so professionals come up with various innovations every year. Before the invention of network technologies, all 5G communication channels could work independently of each other and could not communicate with each other [25]. However, their joint work is required as the number of PCs increases. It is the possibility of multiple people working with one document simultaneously [26]. Local and global networks make it possible to create a working environment for many 5G communication channels. However, there is no need to manage work processes and execute various tasks [27]. The 5G communication channel network administration is responsible for accomplishing these functions. Let us try to figure out what it represents and what features it has [28]. A network is a collection of nodes/devices which are connected and can communicate with each other through a common channel or protocol. Whereas communication between different users or instructions/commands between different nodes in a complete network, such as computers, output devices, mobile devices, management components, routing and switching devices, and management components [29]. Classification of networks can be done based on the geographical area over which they are spread. Also, the topology or design of the network can vary based on organizational requirements such as ring, star, bus, or mesh [30]. Network managers are involved in performance management or fault analysis of the components involved in provisioning the network and network equipment and ensuring that quality of service is maintained [31]. A software or tool that helps network administrators or managers perform their tasks is called network management software/tool [32].
1.1. Problem Definition
The evolution of 5G networks has led to advancements in the IT industry, where remote users now have new and improved ways to connect using wireless, cloud, mobile devices, IoT, VPN, and more [33]. As the industry grows, network monitoring becomes more important to monitor advanced complex networks like MPLS, LAN, VoIP, and WAN. Network testing and monitoring systems/technologies have evolved dramatically, leading to more methodology, more network components to verify or test systems and servers, and more ways to alert the concerned administrator about problems with internal network components [34]. It is likely to cause the following problems: (i)We are monitoring them in networks with many users and a cumbersome process. Also, when the number of users is high, the network must be managed correctly. The performance may be adversely affected(ii)Network monitoring is a part of network management that monitors network performance. It involves using a system or tool continuously monitoring a computer network. It includes checking for slowing down failed components and notifying administrators through emails simultaneously in case of crash/failure or any other issue [35](iii)Network monitoring includes timely checks on web servers, email, applications or components or devices, and the network’s overall health(iv)Most organizations prefer to migrate to network monitoring tools rather than the traditional method, which means doing it manually. Various monitoring tools exist for networks, servers, security, website, performance, databases, applications, and web usage(v)Network monitoring services check HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SNMP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, DNS, SSH, TELNET, TCP, and SSL. For network servers, the tool can send a request to HTTP to know its status and then forward it to a network server [36](vi)In the case of an email server, the monitoring tool may periodically send a test message via SMTP, which is then retrieved by POP3 or IMAP. Through this process, the entire path of a test message can be simultaneously checked for the health of its network components [37]
This paper’s main contribution is to manage the network devices effectively, monitor network functions very effectively in the earlier works, and monitor the network controls and access points of different communication nodes. Most of the earlier models need to be discussed the access point issues for intracluster 5G communication. The network administration is a set of actions to create and maintain the standard and stable performance of 5G communication channel networks and technical support for all users connected to a specific workgroup. The rest of the paper has the following sections. Chapter 2 describes the details of the related works of the existing research. The proposed model was explained the Chapter 3, and the results are evaluated in Chapter 4. Finally, the conclusion was discussed in Chapter 5.
2. Related Works
Hao [4] expressed that urban is less large scale compared to global networks. Let the transfer of electronic information at medium and high speeds. Urban networks can vary in length from one to several hundred kilometers. Data flow can fail at any point or point in the system. The monitoring system can detect and report failures in different technologies. A network monitoring system should be flexible enough to detect errors at the network layer, data link layer, network packet forwarding, host-to-host communication, sessions, syntax, and applications. Yang et al. [7] discussed that the local networks are high-speed and cover only one or more buildings. In most cases, this type of network is used in medium and large companies, which require a clear communication structure between all employees. Here, a network monitoring system that understands the heterogeneous nature of nodes and elements in the network and tags each alert with the correct source can help the network monitoring system initiate remediation protocols effectively. Problems on the brink of detection can be detected early in the process. Logeshwaran and Karthick [8] discussed that in global and local networks, information is spread by various technologies. It is only after that data transfer that a connection is made between the first two 5G communication channels. Network monitoring wants efficient data collection and rapid reporting on that NMS network. However, this creates an unhealthy dependency between the NMS and the network. If the network encounters a fault and shuts down, the team cannot access the data embedded in the network management system, no matter how sophisticated it is. Zhang and Wu [9] expressed that the local, in turn, allows you to transfer data without a prior connection. Data is sent even when the recipient has not confirmed its readiness. Additionally, the thread rate is different from the information sent and received. High availability (HA) can solve this problem by ensuring the network management system runs even if the network monitors go down for any reason. Although HA may seem like a secondary measure, it can save it from the circular problem of network downtime.
Liu and Awang Bin Othman [10] discussed the importance of understanding that local network management systems have individual network adapters to make a connection to other 5G communication channels. Here, the availability of alerts in a timeline helps filter and develop issues and aids the RCA process. Receiving notification and resolving it is the day-to-day idea of monitoring. However, having a repository of alerts with the exact source of the problem identified can help build intelligent systems that help speed up the resolution process. Min et al. [11] expressed that switches are used instead of adapters in urban networks. Global networks are built on high-powered routers and transmit data through channels. The network monitoring procedures should include data for the past hours, days, weeks, and months to give it a visually accessible picture of how network problems escalate. Rajpoot et al. [32] have discussed that the communication channel network is a combination of software products, hardware, and communication tools, which is responsible for the remote access of many users to an information platform. It is an essential step in controlling network users. Organizations with large network managers often receive timely alerts, but the solution is only deployed temporarily. It could be due to wrong priorities or wrongly assigned technicians. Many challenges can be diffused before they arise simply by creating a hierarchy of ownership across the network. This hierarchy determines who will be alerted based on an incoming alert indicating a threshold violation. Lloret et al. [33] expressed that the local network allows us to work with these many users who are far from each other. Because the speed of information transfer through such networks is low, the resulting delays will occur. Since ownership is already distributed throughout the network, a rule-based alerting approach enables network administrators to focus on the problem instead of the problem itself. Chauhan and Goel [34] have discussed that the global network allows users to transfer data over significant distances that can reach several thousand kilometers and have more stable work and fewer delays. An open-system interconnection model often dictates communication across a complex network. It allows us to focus on the system’s platform rather than the underlying technology. The same should be prioritized based on report generation. Ampririt et al. [35] expressed an organization’s scale; their network monitoring practices must scale with them. A small business with a dedicated network setup and an onsite team will not be in immediate crisis because one essential tool can report on the entire network. Kori and Kakkasageri [37] discussed on a business scale; they added new offices in different locations and new nodes in the cloud infrastructure to the network. The network monitoring system should be designed to allow it to have a centralized view of the entire network, accessible in a single platform. It gives it a clear understanding of large-scale network trends and how each node interacts with other nodes in the network. The comprehensive analysis expressed the summary with some advantages and drawbacks of the related works as shown in Table 1.
Smart network monitoring can inform the admin about all connected devices’ status, location, bandwidth usage, network health, and more. It communicates with network devices via SNMP, and an intelligent alarm system protects the system from damage. Based on Table 1, some improvements are proposed. (i)Network service performance monitoring enables it to accurately model data flow between nodes, identify anomalies before they become problems, and configure functions that increase the network’s quality of service(ii)An elegant system should be configured to monitor traffic, routing, and end user experience and quickly detect delayed response times in traffic for client-side applications(iii)Configure the necessary steps to record analytics with context and quickly fix problems before they impact performance(iv)The proposed method should be able to derive real-time insights and trends from millions of network device log entries
3. Methodology
The proposed network management focused on different tasks like managing different communication devices. The node set is the initial task in the network communication devices. These devices are beneficial for establishing communication between the two end nodes. While initializing the network communication, we need to know the available nodes for the communication path. The load of the communication network nodes is always splitting the message packets. The architecture of the proposed model is shown in Figure 1. These message packets are transferred via the shortest path. Once the shortest path is identified, then it will know about the load balancing with the following conditions: (i)Condition 1 (normal node): , where all the values of busy nodes are 0(ii)Condition 2 (limited access node): , where all the values of (iii)Condition 3 (power access node): , where all the communication nodes are in active condition(iv)Condition 4 (multiaccess node): , where is the initial transmission, is the end transmission, and is the transmission coefficient
If the uncertain transmission was initiated between the two end nodes, then collusion occurs. This creates the nodal delay between the communication nodes. Equation (1) demonstrates the uncertain transmission: where is the uncertain transmission, is the transmission duration, is the initial transmission node, and is the edge transmission node.
The proposed 5G communication channel administrators are involved in setting up, maintaining, and solving various problems related to 5G communication channel networks. The proposed network management automation includes the following tasks which are shown in Figure 2: (i)Support for the normal operation of electronic databases(ii)Ensuring stable operation of the network(iii)Prevents the penetration of infiltrators(iv)Organization of user access rights to use network resources(v)Making backup copies of information(vi)Networking setup and maintenance(vii)Improving workbooks to increase productivity(viii)Training user work online(ix)Implementation of control over the use of software and prevention of its illegal modification(x)Control of developments in 5G communication channel networks
The initial node transmission between different nodes is denoted by the following:
The edge node transmission between different nodes is denoted by the following:
Let the be the uncertain transmission variable. Now, the reliable network management was shown in equation (4):
Based on the uncertain transmission in equation (4), the initial transmission (in equation (2)) and the edge node transmission (in equation (2)) were described in the following equations. The initial uncertain transmission was displayed in equation (5):
The edge uncertain transmission was shown in equation (6):
3.1. Dataset Description
The need for a defined network monitoring procedure grows with the need to update with time. As networks become complex, interconnected, and integrated with the core business, the interdependencies of different business functions make network time critical to productivity. Teams, people, and functions operate with the assumption that the network is up and running every minute. Network problems in even the most miniature episodes can reduce team collaboration, erode customer confidence, and cause noticeable damage to a business’s bottom line. This dataset definition contains various types of complex traffic data generated by the user in the network defined in various ways. The remote, global, urban, and local network modules with ten workstations have been monitored for three months, and the data obtained through it has been consolidated [28]. Therefore, as networks have become dense and complex, the need for an adaptive and heuristic-based approach to monitor them has become more critical. It has restructured the NMS practices to understand the network better and, ultimately, more effective network management.
3.2. Requirement Analysis
In addition to the above, the network’s system administrator aims to detect weak points so that vulnerable users can infiltrate the network and announce their superiors. When creating a local network, the proposed model performs the following criteria which should be taken into account. It is shown in Figure 3. (i)Network scope(ii)Type of 5G communication channel and its mode of operation(iii)Number of 5G communication channels(iv)System software(v)Security policy
The proposed network administration allows it to efficiently 5G communications channelize and manage the operation of the system with a minimum number of system administrators of a minimum number of organizations.
3.3. Proposed Algorithm
For these purposes, special applications are used to connect over the network or through the Internet to any 5G communication channel that is part of the workgroup, through the Internet, in real time. With these applications, it can gain complete control over any PC and use all its capabilities. The proposed algorithm is demonstrated in Algorithm 1.

Figure 4 demonstrates the proposed algorithm flow chart. To date, there are many such applications from various software developers. They have their functionality, tools, and an interface that can be graphic or console. Based on all these objects, the administration of the local network allows it to organize the 5G communication channel creation process.
The software market has access to domestic production applications, but they are less functional than foreign ones. A specific plan for managing a local network often depends on the tasks facing system administrators, a specific plan used in the organization. Any 5G communication channel network, regardless of its type, consists of the following components, which are shown in Figure 5: (i)Network hardware(ii)Transmission medium(iii)Network software(iv)Network protocols(v)Network services
This principle of the device of the 5G communication channel networks implies that it is generally because each element has a more complex structure and actual diversity. All devices connected to an existing network must transmit data in a way that other devices in the system understand. Modern corporate information systems are, by their very nature, always distributed systems.
3.4. Network Standards
Nevertheless, all the devices cooperate and work according to a single mechanism. In turn, the management of Windows networks aims to maintain the stable operations of these components. There are uniform and generally accepted network management standards, among which it is responsible for performing the following functions, which are shown in Figure 6: (i)Performance assurance: find and eliminate any problems interfering with stable network performance(ii)Configuration management: setting OS parameters and technology upgrade system components(iii)Network analysis: continuous control over the use of network resources(iv)Performance management: collect statistics on network performance over time by utilizing network resources and reducing associated costs(v)Network security: ensures system access to the network and reliable data storage
User workstations, application servers, database servers, and other network nodes are distributed over a large area. In a large company, offices and sites are connected by different types of information using different technologies and network devices. The main task of the network administrator is to ensure the reliable, uninterrupted, productive, and secure operation of these complex systems.
3.5. Network Management
The proposed network management is the only management among 5G communication channels. In order to perform tasks as efficiently as possible, various software developers produce applications that contain a specific set of tools responsible for performing the functions listed above. The challenges solved in this section are divided into two groups: (i)To control network equipment operation: in the first group, we discuss monitoring individual network devices (hubs, switches, routers, access servers, etc.) and setting and changing their configuration, thereby eliminating failures. These traditional tasks are called reactive management(ii)Managing the operation of the network: it has responsibility for monitoring network traffic, identifying trends in its change, and analyzing events in order to implement priority and performance remediation programs
In addition to the difference in speed, there are other differences between specific segments of networks. If we talk about local networks, each 5G communication channel has its network adapter, which connects the rest of the 5G communication channels. Special dialing devices are used for the same purposes as in urban networks, while global networks use powerful routers associated with every other 5G communication channel. Each of the specific sizes has its resources and additional components.
4. Results and Discussion
The performance of the proposed network management automation algorithm (NMAA) was compared with the existing adaptive subflow switching algorithm (ASSA), energy scheduling game management algorithm (ESGMA), neural network algorithm (NNA), and optimal cluster head selection algorithm (OCHSA).
4.1. Remote Network Administration
It is used to control a 5G communication channel outside the organization. For these purposes, special software is used, which allows controlling 5G communication channels and remote access through the Internet in real time. Such programs provide control over the remote components of the local network and each 5G communication channel individually. It can remotely manage every 5G communication channel’s desktop, copy or delete various files, and work with programs and applications. There are a large number of programs for remote access. All programs differ in their protocol and interface. For the latter, the interface may be of a desktop or visual nature.
Figure 7 compares remote network administration of existing and proposed models. In a comparison point, the proposed NMAA achieved 91.82% of remote network administration. At the same point, the existing ASSA reached 73.88%, ESGMA reached 58.59%, NNA achieved 59.88%, and OCHSA achieved 90.10% in remote network administration.
4.2. Global Network Administration
Global networks provide communication and data exchange between widely dispersed users. When such networks work, slight delays may appear in the communication information caused by the relatively low data transfer rate. The method of sending information in global and local networks is different. Global 5G communication channel networks are primarily connected, i.e., before starting the data exchange between two users, the connection between them must first be established.
Figure 8 compares the global network administration of existing and proposed models. In comparison, the proposed NMAA achieved 95.25% of global network administration. At the same point, the existing ASSA reached 83.07%, ESGMA reached 62.46%, NNA achieved 55.24%, and OCHSA achieved 94.35% of global network administration.
4.3. Urban Network Administration
Urban networks operate in a limited area and deliver information at medium to high speeds. They do not make global data slower but cannot transmit information over long distances. The length of such 5G communication channel networks ranges from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers and is far away.
Figure 9 compares the urban network administration of existing and proposed models. In a comparison point, the proposed NMAA achieved 96.59% of urban network administration. At the same point, the existing ASSA reached 89.93%, ESGMA reached 58.27%, NNA achieved 52.20%, and OCHSA achieved 90.02% of urban network administration.
4.4. Local Network Administration
A local network usually provides a high-speed local network located within one or more buildings, and its length does not exceed one kilometer. Often, a local network is built for a specific organization or organization. In local 5G communication channel systems, other methods are used that do not require a prior installation of communication. In this case, the information is sent to the user without confirming its readiness.
Figure 10 compares the local network administration of existing and proposed models. In a comparison point, the proposed NMAA achieved 95.07% of local network administration. At the same point, the existing ASSA reached 81.26%, ESGMA reached 61.77%, NNA achieved 51.38%, and OCHSA achieved 90.03% of local network administration. Table 2 compares the proposed NMAA model and the existing ASSA, ESGMA, NNA, and OCHSA. In a cut-off region, the proposed model achieved the following results.
The proposed model achieved 91.82% of the remote network administration parameter results. This result has 17.94% better than the ASSA, 33.23% better than the ESGMA, 31.94% better than the NNA, and 1.72% better than the OCHSA. The proposed model achieved 95.25% of the global network administration parameter results. This result has 12.18% better than the ASSA, 32.79% better than the ESGMA, 40.01% better than the NNA, and 0.9% better than the OCHSA. The proposed model achieved 96.59% of the urban network administration parameter results. This result has 6.66% better than the ASSA, 38.32% better than the ESGMA, 44.39% better than the NNA, and 6.57% better than the OCHSA. The proposed model achieved 95.07% of the local network administration parameter results. This result has 13.81% better than the ASSA, 33.3% better than the ESGMA, 43.69% better than the NNA, and 5.04% better than the OCHSA. Network monitoring teams can tap into Internet of Things, software-level networks, and cloud-based services to ensure maximum uptime and optimal network performance. However, adapting to these technologies means defining new procedures for integrating legacy architectures, restructuring monitoring workflows, and evaluating toolkits to improve comprehensive and layered network management. This guide is designed to help network monitoring teams redefine their process for a more effective, data-driven, efficient, and responsive NMS practice.
Network management automation algorithm (NMAA) is designed to automate network management tasks. This algorithm has several advantages over other algorithms, such as the following: (i)Automation: NMAA can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as troubleshooting and configuration changes. It allows network administrators to focus on more critical tasks, such as planning and designing the network(ii)Accuracy: NMAA can detect and diagnose problems quickly and accurately. It helps to reduce downtime and improve the stability of the network(iii)Cost savings: automation can reduce operational costs by eliminating manual labour and allowing administrators to scale up or down their network as needed(iv)Improved security: automation can help to improve security by providing better control over network access and reducing the risk of unauthorized access(v)Improved reliability: automation can help improve network reliability by eliminating human error. It helps ensure that networks remain online and available for use
Network management automation algorithm (NMAA) outperforms the rest because it uses intelligent algorithms to automate the network management process. It means that the process is faster and more efficient than manual processes. Additionally, NMAA can detect and fix issues before they become critical, reducing downtime and improving network performance. It can also identify anomalies and proactively protect the network from potential threats. The NMAA is more reliable than manual processes and can provide comprehensive insights into the network’s performance.
The complexity of a network management automation algorithm depends on the complexity of the tasks being used to automate. For example, the proposed NMAA to automate the configuration of a router may have much lower complexity than an algorithm used to automate the deployment and management of a large-scale distributed system. Generally, algorithms that require more data processing and complex logic will have a higher computational complexity. The computational complexity of NMAA based on time can vary greatly depending on the algorithm’s complexity and the network’s size. Generally, a given algorithm’s complexity increases with the network size and the number of tasks involved. For example, a simple algorithm designed to update network configurations on a small network may have low complexity. In contrast, a more complex algorithm designed to automate the management of an extensive network may have a higher complexity. In simple task management, the algorithm using a random access memory (RAM) may have a time complexity of , while in more complex task management, the algorithm using a hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD) may have a time complexity of , where n is the size of the dataset. Additionally, the algorithm’s space complexity will depend on the memory required to store the dataset and the algorithm’s instructions.
5. Conclusion
Administration of 5G communication channel networks involves designing, building, constructing, and maintaining networks and ensuring high security. These tasks are not simple, but administrators come to the rescue, and various applications are coming, allowing many problems quickly. In a comparison point, the proposed NMAA achieved 91.82% of remote network administration, 95.25% of global network administration, 96.59% of urban network administration, and 95.07% of local network administration. Nevertheless, they cannot be changed for the better, so service employees play an essential role in managing complex corporate networks. It is tough to determine whether a network performs at its designed levels; it must be compared to ideal network performance. The underlying average performance of a node or element in a network can stand as a proxy for problems in some other part of the network. If network usage grows aggressively against base usage, some changes are worth studying in the network. Baselining enables network administrators to solve a problem proactively rather than reacting and waiting for someone to complain. More time and resources that would otherwise have gone into dealing with downtime and managing customers waiting in line are saved. All 5G communication channels were autonomous and worked separately at the beginning of its history. With the increase in cars, they must collectively work for them. In particular, it concerns the work of users on a document. A solution to such a problem is using global and local area networks. The construction of networks made it necessary to manage this process and perform various tasks. Network management took over these functions.
