1. A method for modifying a communication network (CN), the method comprising:
analyzing first monitored data between a client device and a server to generate a request category, wherein the client device and the server communicate over a second CN;
generating a network slice (NS) in the CN using the request category, wherein the CN is distinct from the second CN;
executing a first emulation using the NS and a first request to generate a first emulated response time (ERT), wherein the first request corresponds to an actual request between the client device and the server;
based on the first ERT, initiating migration of communication between the client device and the server from the second CN to the CN;
after the migration, making a first determination, by analyzing second monitored data between the client device and the server over the CN, that scaling of the NS to a modified NS is required;
in response to the first determination, executing a second emulation using the modified NS and the second monitored data to generate a second ERT, wherein the second monitored data comprises at least a second request, a response to the second request, and a corresponding response time for the second request;
making, based on the second ERT, a second determination to modify the CN using the modified NS; and
initiating, based on the second determination, modification of the CN using the modified NS.
