INTRODUCTION Artificial Intelligence (AI) [1] data center networking is a modern technology to control and enhance the intricate structures of a data centre. With the increase in the amount and heterogeneity of the data collected by digital applications, the more conventional solutions of network management and optimization show their inefficiency. Network intelligence comes out as the flagship that will be implemented in data center through AI using machine learning to improve as well as automate these aspects. In its essence, AI-enabled data center networking applies AI solutions to enhance the network operations or traffic routing, load balancing, predictive maintenance, and security monitoring [2]. They allow data centers to control and adapt their networks as required depending on the traffic density and the required workload. With the help of AI, data centers can reach new levels of flexibility, growth, and reactivity concerning digital applications and services’ demands. According to the literature, the emergence of AI data center networking is attributed to the integration of several advancements [3]. In the first case, the management of network in data centers was based on static methods and required the use of specific rules. Software defined networking (SDN) emerged in the early 2000s and caused a shift in the way that the control and data planes of the network are logically managed via a centralized controller instead of distributed controllers. SDN paved the way for awakening these inflexible network architectures and AI in turn has embellished these relatively more straightforward and efficient structures. The application of AI to data center networking escalated in the mid-2010s as emergence of complex machine learning and deep learning algorithms in the manufacture of networking equipage [4]. They are effective for real time 508 IJRITCC | February 2024, Available @ http://www.ijritcc.org International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication ISSN: 2321-8169 Volume: 12 Issue: 2 Article Received: 25 December 2023 Revised: 12 January 2024 Accepted: 20 February 2024 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ processing of huge amounts of data in the networks and finding out patterns and probable conclusions. Using AI within the data center network makes the use of resources efficient, reduces the latency and improving the communication by creating an environment in which the algorithms learn from history and the surrounding environment. AI data center networking approaches include AI NSs, IT, AD, and PA [5]. Challenges of managing a network has been eased through the use of artificial intelligence in that configuration management, provision of service and monitoring of performance are some of the activities done through the network and these activities if done manually would consume much time and resources hence taking most of the it’s resources to do strategic activities. Smart networking on the other hand manages the traffic flow within the network using the help of artificial intelligence in the algorithm to control the traffic flow and congestion. Anomaly detection systems use artificial intelligence to identify when there is an unusual occurrence in the network or if there is a possible violation of security in a particular network so that any abnormality in the network can be conquered or prevented hence making the network safer and more reliable. Therefore, data center networking through AI has numerous advantages following from it [4]. First of all, AI enhances productivity by eliminating the need for labour when it comes to datacentre operational activities and, at the same time, optimises resource consumption, which means that the overall operational expenses in datacentres are reduced. Most importantly, through the use of machine learning, a company is able to avoid a common challenge of a network failure by predicting such events and taking the necessary measures to rectify the problem. Advanced security solutions based on artificial intelligence guarantee data centers’ ability to identify threats and protect information assets from unauthorized access and cyberattacks while meeting compliance standards. Nonetheless, the integration of AI in data center networking also has several difficulties [5]. Such challenges comprise the process of implementation of the AI algorithms into the existing network architectures and the compatibility of such algorithms with the existing systems, besides adding to the data privacy and security risks concerns. Furthermore, when it comes to the utilization of AI data center networking solution on an increased level of cloud computing, IoT, and edge computing, more extensive structure and powerful hardware boosters are needed. The future of the networking of the AI data center remains one of the most promising prospects for creativity and evolvement [5]. Better AI algorithms, changes and improvements in hardware acceleration techniques like GPUs and TPUs, and the SDN paradigm are all expected permanently enhance the network management, data processing, and operations.

DeepRM applies reinforcement learning to self-optimise the network settings and resource distribution prompt to the workload conditions, enhancing the overall network effectiveness and results. Data center networks. Paper under review presents a description of how machine learning paradigm can be incorporated in traffic prediction, anomaly detection, load balancing and energy efficiency mechanisms for data centers in identifying future research areas for incorporating machine learning in networking management, the paper notes the major challenge as follows: Wei Bai et al. [8] perform a survey focusing on the use of deep learning techniques in the context of network management in environments SDN. Recent studies presented in their work address traffic prediction models and algorithms, anomaly detection and QoS, among others, stressing that deep learning offers potential benefits to SDN systems. The congestion control mechanism of large scale data center networks is investigated by Mohammad Alizadeh et al. [14]. The work employs techniques like reinforcement learning and deep learning to design congestion control algorithms that can learn from the environment in the case of data centers, manage the network’s traffic flow adaptively, and reduce the effects that congestion has on other network performance parameters. Networking Named Content (NNC) as a fresh paradigm proposed by Yong Cui et al. [9] combined the principles of CCN with the use of artificial intelligence decision-making systems. Specifically, NNC intends to enhance the content delivery speed and the network’s flexibility for latent content caching with the help of AI algorithms for caching decisions, traffic distribution, and content prefetching in data center networks. To incorporate ML to improve the network management of data centres, Minlan Yu et al. [10] designed Gearbox which is a framework that includes ML within the SDN controllers. Gearbox thereby improves SDN in accommodating real loads of work and reducing idling while at the same time improving on the resource scheduling predictiveness from analytical results and automated decisions. Hong Xu et al. [11] presents the state-of-the-art survey focused on SDN and the integration with AI methodologies. In this paper, the miscellaneous AI applications in SDN in the traffic engineering, QoS optimization, security enhancement, and network virtualization are presented and their combination with the SDN conception is analyzed to cover the modern demands for network performance and management. In the Xin Jin et al. [12] study, the effects that virtualization has on the networks performance in Amazon’s EC2 data centers are examined. The research applies Artificial Intelligence-based data analysis of the traffic flow patterns and resource utilization and performance issues in virtualization environments and provides a descriptive analysis of network optimization in cloud data centres. Rui Miao et al. [13] conducts a survey of reviews that focuses on implementing Machine learning techniques in the Dong Xiang et al. [15] presented DeepTraffic, which is a deep learning based approach to forecast and then manage the traffic flow in SDN used data center networks. DeepTraffic’s CNNs and RNNs enable the company to predict traffic patterns and improve the routing decisions it makes for SDN, proving that deep learning can improve the main capabilities of SDN systems. A good example of a globally-deployed Software Defined WAN is B4 developed by Google and presented by David Meyer et al. [16]. In the following paper, it describes how B4 implements the AI technology in traffic-wise engineering, congestion management, and network management in Google’s data center spanned all over the globe. The Al based programs running in B4 are able to analyze the status of the Internet and make routes switches on the fly for optimal data flow and latency for Google’s services and apps globally. In this context, Mohammad Hajjat et al. [17] presented and discussed AI-based strategies for the planning and migration of the enterprise applications to the cloud. Their work applies AI methodologies including machine learning and optimization methods to analyse the dependency of applications, forecast workload distribution and propose ideal deployments on the cloud datacenters. From the above perspective, this approach assist enterprises to reduce cost, scale and gain higher performance through the application of artificial intelligence in cloud moving procedures. Les investigations following the paradigm of AI-based methodologies are Dan Li et al. [18] Traffic-aware Virtual Machine (VM) placement in Data Center Networks is revisited.

When traffic-aware VM placement is combined with AI, it becomes possible to improve resource utilization in data centers, as well as workloads’ performance. Zhenhua Liu et al., [19] have introduced a software defined called DCRoute for handling routing decisions in data center networks using AI techniques. Thus, DCRoute uses reinforcement learning algorithms for optimizing network paths taking into consideration the traffic conditions and workload as well as network policies. This AI-based approach increases the flexibility, the capability of the network to grow and become more reliable especially in the data centers through the flexibility of routing and allocation of resources. Intelligent traffic engineering in data center networks using deep reinforcement learning is the research area of Juncheng Jia et al. [20]. The research focuses on the use of DRL algorithms to interact in the network environment to learn the best traffic routing policies needed in dynamism. Thus, incorporating DRL-based intelligent traffic engineering can provide data centers a better network throughput, less latency and better scalability to address the complexity of the awareness of applications.

Some of the key methodologies include: 512 IJRITCC | February 2024, Available @ http://www.ijritcc.org International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication ISSN: 2321-8169 Volume: 12 Issue: 2 Article Received: 25 December 2023 Revised: 12 January 2024 Accepted: 20 February 2024 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.1. Machine Learning (ML): Machine learning [10] is a way by which data center networks may determine features of interest by being trained on data and make a choice or prediction without reference to being programmed. There are several types of machine learning approaches: • • • Supervised Learning: In this method models are trained using data which has been classified or labeled in some way. In data center networking, the supervised learning can be applied where the foreseen tasks are, for example, predicting the specific traffic patterns based on historical data, determining the ideal distribution of resources, or under types of events (e. g. , various types of traffic). Unsupervised Learning: This is the kind of learning methodologies which do not involve any form of reliance on pre-tagged features or data set. For instance, anomaly detection algorithms can detect abnormally in the network that perhaps may pose a threat to security or performance. Reinforcement Learning: This approach entails an agent who learns to make decision based on the interactions that she or he has with the environment. Within data center networks, reinforcement learning can be implemented and used in dynamically routing the network traffic, managing the traffic flow or even efficiently allocating the power that feeds the networks by encouraging certain actions that have the potential of achieving the set goals. 3.2. Deep Learning (DL): Neural networks with multiple layers which is a part of machine learning is called deep learning. Key techniques in deep learning [11] include: • • • Neural Networks: The deep neural networks are specifically potent in establishing complicated association and relation between significant numbers of data. As the data center networking, DNNs can be used in the data center for traffic prediction, traffic granularity, QoS management, or network condition diagnosis. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs): CNNs are especially suited for the spatial data like image and network traffics. They can be applied to data center networking environments in activities such as intrusion detection in which they are required to process patterns present in the flow of data in real-time. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): RNN is a type of recurrent networks that are good for sequential data and temporal relationships in time. In networking, it can employ RNNs forecast performance parameters using historical data, or workload dynamics control by using results of the resource requirements forecast. 3.3. Natural Language Processing (NLP): HLD methods [12] allow the data center networks to process and understand human language data for the efficient communication and decision making. Key applications include: • • Text Analytics: Applying methods like sentiment analysis, text classification, or entity recognition to analyze the records of the network logs, user queries, or security incident reports to make insights or answer the inquiries automatically. Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: Application of Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence to help the network administrators in diagnosis, deployment or monitoring activities leading to enhanced operational effectiveness and customers’ satisfaction. 3.4. Predictive Analytics: In general, predictive analytics is the employment of statistical tools and machine learning [13] in an attempt to analyse present and past data in order to draw forecasts of future events. In data center networking, predictive analytics can: • • Time-Series Forecasting: A forecast of the future flow of traffic through a particular network or future resources needed may be made from past data to ensure proper planning on resource capacity to meet performance criteria’s are met. Prescriptive Analytics: Using the predictive models and business constraints recommend the best action or configuration possible. For example, prescriptive analytics can help in advising changes in the network policies or settings to improve on the performance or security. 3.5. Software-Defined Networking (SDN): SDN [14] is an architectural approach in which control of the Networking infrastructure is logically centralized as compared to the data plane enabling the management of the infrastructure. Key aspects include: • Centralized Control: In an SDN solution, the programmatic interfaces can be in the form of the SDN controllers that govern the behavior of the network helping the administrators reconfigure the network, its policies, routing rules and the QoS parameters on the fly through analysis of data and correlation with the help of AI. 513 IJRITCC | February 2024, Available @ http://www.ijritcc.org International Journal on Recent and Innovation Trends in Computing and Communication ISSN: 2321-8169 Volume: 12 Issue: 2 Article Received: 25 December 2023 Revised: 12 January 2024 Accepted: 20 February 2024 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • Network Virtualization: Thus, abstraction of physical network resources into virtual networks help in getting optimized utilization and isolation. AI is quite effective in selecting the best areas for virtual network provision, routing and flow control for virtual networks. 3.6. Edge Computing and IoT Integration: Edge computing enhance the computing and storage services closer to the data source like the IoT devices [15], which provides less latency and employs less bandwidth. AI methodologies include: • • Edge AI: Using AI models at the edge or at the gateway for processing data in real-time, this use case includes applications such as the predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, or real-time analytics for distributed data centers. IoT Device Management: Employing artificial intelligence in the automation of the IoT device management thereby provisioning, monitoring, and securing of IoT devices within the data center. AI application in the management of IoT increases scalability, work efficiency and optimization of the networks within the IoT. 3.7. Security and Anomaly Detection: AI-based security and anomaly detection methods [16] improve data center networks protection by: • • Behavioral Analysis: Developing the normal profile of the behaviors of different networks in the environment to identify such special cases that may depict a security threat or an unusual performance. AI models are always on the lookout for threats by scanning network traffic, user interactions, and system logs, as and when invented. Threat Intelligence: Combining threat feeds as external sources of information to increase the AI-based threat analysis system’s efficiency. Machine learning, one of the branches of AI can be used in prediction and pattern recognition to enhance data center security and protect networks against threats. 3.8. Autonomous Network Management: Network autonomy relies on [17] Artificial Intelligence to perform core duties and reach decisions in data centre networks, such as: • Policy-Based Automation: Adapting of the network configuration and provisioning as well as performance monitoring according to the set policies and using Analytics on the Infrastructure. An autonomous system can actually help in better utilization of the resource, • less number of overheads to be tackled, and the overall reliability of the network. Self-Healing Networks: That is why AI algorithms identify network faults or degradations and make network recovery and restoration decisions without the human factor’s involvement, providing high availability and reliability of data center services. Healing makes networks almost free from downtime and service interruption in important networks. These methodologies show how the spectrum and penetration of AI applications across data center networks is not limited to streamlining the functions of various layers and improving their performance, but also in reinforcing security and preparing for the integration of the future distributed infrastructure of the Internet of Things, edge computing, etc. 4.

It raises the level of protection of data centers by allowing for quicker action against threats. 4. Automation of Routine Tasks: AI helps lessen the dependency on employees by taking the repetitive responsibilities like configuring the networks, monitoring the performance or even identifying faults. This relieves IT personnel to undertake more of strategic functions and innovation since they are relieved from simplest tasks. 5. Scalability and Flexibility: The open, intelligent, and adaptive nature of the network is provided by softwaredefined networking and network virtualization through artificial intelligence. Dynamism is another strength of virtualized networks since the networks can alter the probability of the next lane to fit a number of demands without requiring extensive hardware modification for new services or applications. 6.
