A structured six-dimension framework for evaluating whether an organization's network is ready to support AI workloads. The assessment covers performance (throughput, latency, packet loss), side-channel risk exposure from observable traffic patterns, resilience in degraded real-world conditions, Zero Trust enforcement at the transport layer, stealth and unobservability of traffic metadata, and scalability for dynamic AI deployments. Each dimension includes diagnostic questions to identify gaps before AI workloads expose them. The post is part of a series on AI-driven side-channel attacks and is authored by a team at networking vendor dispersive.io.
