DTN Digital Twin Network
A DTN (Digital Twin Network) extends the digital twin concept from individual network elements to the network architecture itself, describing a system design in which digital twins operate continuously across the network lifecycle, including the interfaces, data pipelines and management functions needed to build, maintain and act on twins at network scale, a direction explored in ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector) and 3GPP 6G-related studies alongside the related NDT (Network Digital Twin) concept.
