“…As a result, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Zero-Touch Network and Service Management (ZSM) [1] working group has made Zero-Touch Management (ZTM) a hot topic in the current process of network standardization. A potential solution to the problematic network provisioning and infrastructure service deployment procedure is the Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) idea [2]. With the development of virtualized, software-based mobile networking, which requires advanced network visualization and automation solutions to accommodate this fundamental paradigm change, network administration has become increasingly difficult [3].…”

In modern telecommunication sectors, zero touch (Zero-Touch) networks are a novel idea. A combination of quick, context-aware network and service configuration, adaptable new service development, and dynamic, effective resource allocation are required for everyone. An innovative telecommunication management software, Zero-Touch Networks (ZTNs), were released to address these complicated conditions. The primary objective of the zero-touch network is autonomous operation, which is governed by higher layers of policies and regulations and allows for self-configuration, self-monitoring, self-healing and self-optimization without the need for human interaction. This conceptual study document is based on white and grey literature in the Google and Web of Science databases. Text, image, audio and video formats all existed for the data. The manuscripts examined the theories, enabling technologies, problems and difficulties associated with zero touch networks. The primary goal of this manuscript is to provide an overview of ZTN so that aspiring academics, researchers, students and businesspeople can profit from it.

“…The central concept of zero-touch networks revolves around the idea of self-regulation within computer networks. Different aspects of network management, configuration, and security can be handled through closed-loop automation with minimal human involvement (Demchenko et al, 2015). The TeleManagement Forum (TMF) has defined zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) as part of its broader Zero-Time Orchestration, Operations, and Management (ZOOM) model (Demchenko et al, 2015).…”

The concept of zero-touch networking involves creating networks that are fully autonomous and require minimal human intervention. This approach is increasingly relevant due to the rapid growth of current cloud architectures, which are beginning to reach their limits due to continuous expansion demands from users and within the network core itself. In response, Fog computing, acting as a smart, localized data center closer to network nodes, emerges as a practical solution to the challenges of expansion and upgrading in existing architectures. Fog computing complements cloud technology. However, the realization of zero-touch networks is still in its early stages, and numerous challenges hinder its implementation. One significant challenge is the NP-hard problem related to resource management. This paper introduces an optimal resource management algorithm based on Federated Learning. The effectiveness of this algorithm is evaluated using the iFogSim simulator within the existing cloud-fog architecture. The results demonstrate that the proposed architecture outperforms the current infrastructure in several key aspects of resource management, including system latency, number of resources processed, energy consumption, and bandwidth utilization.

“…In its essence, ZTP is an automation solution that is designed to reduce errors and cut down the required time when network administrators need to bring new infrastructure online, thus to avoid manual provisioning process [3]. Therefore, ZTP enables accomplishing and providing remote device provisioning, where even an end-user that does not have the technical knowledge can simply connect a non-provisioned device to the network [3]. Having reviewed the paucity of the literature and the industry perspectives, the characteristics of a typical ZTP can be summarized as follows.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is being widely adopted in today's society, interconnecting smart embedded devices that are being deployed for indoor and outdoor environments, such as homes, factories and hospitals. Along with the growth in the development and implementation of these IoT devices, their simple and rapid deployment, initial configuration and outof-the-box operational provisioning are becoming prominent challenges to be circumvented. Considering a large number of heterogeneous devices to be deployed within next generation IoT networks, the amount of time needed for manual provisioning of these IoT devices can significantly delay the deployment and manual provisioning may introduce human-induced failures and errors. By incorporating zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), multiple heterogeneous devices can be provisioned with less effort and without human intervention. In this paper, we propose softwareenabled access point (Soft-AP)-and Bluetooth-based ZTP solutions relying only on a single mediator device and evaluate their performances using LOG-A-TEC testbed against manual provisioning in terms of the time required for provisioning (timeto-provision, TTP). We demonstrate that on average, Soft-APand Bluetooth-based ZTP solutions outperform manual provisioning with about 154% and 313% when compared to the expert provisioning, and with about 434% and 880% when compared to the non-expert provisioning in terms of TTP performances, respectively.
