Description
The communications industry is faced with unprecedented challenges to meet the changing nature of user demands. In the next five years, the industry must re-think how they build, deploy, and operate their network, while making the right technology and market decisions to thrive in the future and avoid being mired in a legacy past. IP, SDN, and NFV technology will be core to the Network 2020 transformation. The principles of the Network 2020 are simple yet powerful, and the network infrastructure has to change. This book, written by Bell Labs researchers, CTO, and Bell Labs Consulting, guides users and members of the industry about how networks will evolve.
