      <abstract>
	 <t>   A Network Digital Twin (NDT) provides a network emulation tool usable
   for different purposes such as scenario planning, impact analysis,
   and change management.  Agentic AI enables dynamic goal-driven
   execution and adaptive behavior and closed-loop autonomy.  By
   integrating a Network Digital Twin into network management together
   with the Agentic AI, it allows the network management activities to
   take user intent or service requirements as input, automatically
   assess, model, and refine optimization strategies under realistic
   conditions but in a risk-free environment.  Such environment that
   operates to meet these types of requirements is said to have AI
   driven Network Operations.

   AI driven Network Operations brings together existing technologies
   such as Agentic AI and Network Digital Twin which may be seen as the
   use of a toolbox of existing components enhanced with a few new
   elements.

   This document describes an architecture for AI driven network
   operations and shows how these components work together with network
   digital twin and Agentic AI capabilities.  It provides a cookbook of
   existing technologies to satisfy the architecture and realize intent-
   based network management to meet the needs of the network service.
