This practice results into numerous protocols having a restricted space for (self-)adaptability, flexibility, and sensitivity respective to their network context (e.g. network traffic conditions, failure conditions, etc). On the other hand, a wide spectrum of learning and optimization techniques is available such that networks could learn and optimize their behavior in the running context. This document describes the opportunities and challenges for a Learning Capable Communication Network (LCCN).}, }
