requiring dynamic and intelligent management and implying a big new challenge for network operators and service providers. First, Network Digital Twins will be in charge of building and maintaining the virtual representations of the network and its components
through an effective synchronization with their physical counterparts. Second, they will create a uniform digital abstraction to support the design of new management and orchestration services. Finally, the network itself will be called to support the design,
deployment and communications of a massive amount of distributed Digital Twins across multiple architectural layers and environments.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
