Abstract

The networking landscape is expected to undergo profound changes over the course of the next decade. New network services are expected to emerge that will enable new applications such as the Tactile Internet, Holographic-Type Communications, or Tele-Driving. Many of these services will be characterized by very high degrees of precision with which end-to-end service levels must be supported. This will have profound implications on the management of those networks and services, from the need to support new methods for assurance of ultra-high-precision services to the need for new network programming models that will allow the industry to move beyond DevOps and SDN towards User-Defined Networking. This article analyzes those implications and provides an overview of challenges along with possible solution approaches and opportunities for research.
