Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022028696A1] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of software-defined networking, in particular to a solution for mapping device configurations of network devices from different telecom vendors in a telecommunication network. To this end, the disclosure proposes a network management device configured to obtain vendor-specific data, input the vendor-specific data into a siamese neural network model in order to compare device configurations, obtain similarity scores, and determine matched device configurations based on the similarity scores. In particular, vendor-specific data are represented into a form of vector or matrix by using word embeddings that are comprised in the siamese neural network model and trained on telecommunication protocols and/or specifications, such as Request for Comments (RFC) documents.
