This document discusses the growth of data traffic and emerging technologies that will impact networks. It notes that data remains the main driver of growth, with video accounting for over half of all traffic. New applications requiring ultra-low latency, high reliability and throughput, such as virtual reality, autonomous vehicles and telemedicine, will challenge networks. It also summarizes strategies being developed by open source projects like CORD and M-CORD to make networks more scalable and agile through network function virtualization, software-defined networking and the disaggregation of hardware.
