Abstract
Graph Neural Networks (GNN) have recently exploded in the Machine Learning area as a novel technique for modeling graph-structured data. This makes them especially suitable for applications in the networking field, as communication networks inherently comprise graphs at many levels (e.g., topology, routing, user connections).
In this demo, we will present IGNNITION, an open-source framework for fast prototyping of GNNs applied to communication networks. This framework is especially designed for network engineers and/or researchers with limited background on neural network programming.
IGNNITION comprises a set of tools and functionalities that eases and accelerates the whole implementation process, from the design of a GNN model, to its training, evaluation, debugging, and integration into larger network applications. In the demo, we will show how a user can implement a complex GNN model applied to network performance modeling (RouteNet), following three simple steps.
