Growth in Capacity, Users and Connections
 Annual IP traffic is expected to reach a record
two zettabytes by 2019, growing at a compound
annual rate of 23%.
 The number of Internet users will jump from 39%
of the global population in 2014, to 51% in 2019.
 There are expected to be 24 billion connected devices
by 2019, or just over three connected devices per user.
 IP video will make up 80% of all global IP traffic
by 2019, an increase from 67% in 2014.
 Cellular connections will make up more than 14%
of IP traffic in 2019, while WiFi connections will
account for 53% globally.

Metro-only traffic
(traffic that traverses only
the metro and bypasses
long-haul traffic links)
surpasses long-haul
traffic in 2014, and will
account for 62% of total
IP traffic by 2019.
Metro-only traffic
will grow nearly twice as
fast as long-haul traffic
from 2014 to 2019.

Optical Trends
 Optical software revolution – SDN/NFV
• Programmable optical networking
SDN/NFV
 Faster adoption of 100G than expected driven by
100G
long haul and DCI
 Expected rapid adoption to 200G/400G and beyond
• More coherent networks
• Broader range of modulation formats
200/400G
C-RAN
 New optical networks are being built
• Mobile (Fronthaul/Cloud-RAN)
• DCI networks (cloud operators)
 Changing dynamic in the optical industry
• Web 2.0, mobile…

NFaaS (Network Function as a Service)
 Simplified architecture
 Specialized middle boxes are replaced with
common hardware i.e. uniform infrastructure
 Reduced CapEx


Specialized components are replaced by
common hardware and open source software
Decreased OpEx

Through automation
 Flexibility

Through infrastructure virtualization and the
ability to manage functions at the service level

Service Provider Networks are very alike
Fiber all the way to the
home, building, tower or
proprietary stuff in between
Virtualize as much stuff as possible via
NFV (Routers, Switches, CPE), virtualize

Converged cable, broadband and mobile architecture
Higher bandwidth in the access means more 10/100G in the metro
More traffic stays in the metro
More switching/flexibility/aggregation (L0/L1/L2/L3)
Diverse/new application sets
SDN with separation of data-plane and control-plane
NFV for services (virtualization)
More open source/collaboration in the Industry
More/new business models developing around software
Packets (IP/Ethernet) is dominating

architecture
Objectives of NPO 3.0

Centralize
• Continue to decouple software capabilities from the network elements
• Ease migration to new hardware architectures
 Virtualize
• Continue to expand upon our SDN strategy
• Simplify standardization and addition of new applications
 Automate
• Continue to elevate our network awareness from L0-L3
• Consolidation of network control into single unified control plane
 Advance
• Continue our move to next generation Optical architectures
• Move beyond 100G and to next generation network architectures
