Abstract: In this paper, a novel architecture is proposed that enhances network connectivity by combining network virtualization and the digital twin approach. A virtual network twin (VNT) framework is designed to emulate the behavior of the original network within a virtualized environment. This framework provides an enhanced connection experience for users, mirroring the performance of the original network while avoiding the limitations of previous methods such as Telnet, SSH, and VPN. By integrating the network virtualization approach and the concept of digital twins, this framework can improve network visibility, security, and robustness in real-time connectivity through appropriate communication protocols and artificial intelligence (AI) methods. The application of this proposal can significantly impact key areas such as medical applications, autonomous driving, and space communications. This paper introduces the VNT architecture; its core components; requirements; and evaluation metrics, such as the accuracy of the VNT.
