The network optimization analogy
IT NetOps | Definition | Immune NetOps | Immune operators |
---|---|---|---|
Traffic shaping | Traffic shaping is a strategy to improve the performance and management of traffic in a network | JAK/STAT signaling pathway modulation | Immunosupressors |
Data caching | Data caching is a process that stores multiple copies of data in a temporary storage location—or cache—so they can be accessed faster | Activation of trained immunity/innate immunity | BCG/influenza/pneumococcal vaccine |
Data compression | Data compression is the process of encoding, restructuring data in order to reduce its size | Activation of adaptative immunity/immune memory | COVID-19 approved vaccines |
Buffer tuning | Buffer tuning or network buffer, corresponds with the smallest unit for effective communication between subtasks | Concurrent activation of innate and adaptative immune responses/immune fitness | New type of vaccines/TIbV |
BCG: bacillus Calmette-Guerin; TIbV: trained immunity-based vaccines
