5G? IoT? Fiber Deep? 600G? We Are ready for networking at 2019!
For years we have all been talking about the emergence of 5G services, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the new high-capacity, low-latency network architectures that will be needed to support the resulting onslaught of bandwidth. Higher-speed data rates are critical to electronic evolution and revolution.
Here are some of my collection of newest trends and predictions for year 2018. have picked and mixed here quotations from many articles (linked to source) with some of my own additions to make this posting.
5G: The most newsworthy stories in wireless today are all about 5G. In 2019, we enter a cautious, early-adoption phase of this next generation of wireless technology. 2019 will be the year when we see the first commercial networks turning on and first handsets arriving in the market. Only a small number of users will get a first taste of 5G in specific geographic locations, using specific applications, none of which are ubiquitous or cost-optimized. For more details read my 5G trends for 2019 posting.
Deep fiber: Deep deployment of fiber optics into national network infrastructure might not be as glamorous as the eagerly anticipated launch of fifth-generation mobile networks (5G); however, it is just as important—maybe even more important. Wired broadband access supports as much as 90 percent of all internet traffic even though the majority of traffic ultimately terminates on a wireless device. Wireline and wireless networks are driving new architectures to support the move from 4G LTE to 5G infrastructure. In fact, 5G relies heavily on fiber infrastructure. Service providers in the access market are talking about the evolution of their plants to a Fiber Deep (FD) Architecture. FD architectures move the optical node (the optical-to-electrical conversion point) deeper into the network and closer to the subscriber. This means shorter copper, faster speed, more capacity and reduction in maintenance cost for both cable TV network and telephone line based access networks.
Ethernet: Faster Ethernet speeds are taken to use. These transitions are driven by the increasing global IP traffic. Hyper-scalers and service providers are moving from 100GbE to 400GbE Ethernet rates and beyond. In this speed development 56Gb/s And 112Gb/s SerDes Matter.
TSN: Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards under development by the Time-Sensitive Networking task group of the IEEE 802.1 working group. TSN standards documents that are specified by IEEE 802.1 can be grouped into three basic key component categories that are time synchronization; scheduling and traffic shaping; selection of communication paths, path reservations and fault-tolerance. Industrial Ethernet networks embrace time-sensitive networking (TSN) technology to integrate operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).
SDN: Software-defined networking (SDN) technology is an approach to cloud computing that facilitates network management and enables programmatically efficient network configuration in order to improve network performance and monitoring. SD-WAN applies similar technology to a wide area network (WAN). SD-WAN allows companies to build higher-performance WANs using lower-cost and commercially available Internet access, enabling businesses to partially or wholly replace more expensive private WAN connection technologies such as MPLS.
IPv6: IPv4 and IPv6 are the two Protocols Run the Internet in 2019. The long-forecasted day the internet runs out of addresses has arrived and it marks a paradigm shift in the internet’s evolution. Though IPv6 has been available globally since 2012, it has seen a slow, if increasing, adoption rate. The migration to IPv6 is inevitable but will take time during that both systems are in use. In many networks a notable amount of traffic is already IPv6.
New Internet protocols: Internet security gets a boost with TLS 1.3. Also HTTP is in process of switching to a protocol layered on top of UDP. Today’s HTTP (versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2) are all layered on top of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) that is not very optimal in today’s applications as SSL over TCP requires subsequent round trips to establish the encrypted connection.
IoT: The IoT world is here, and the level and rate of convergence is increasing in volume and velocity. We will see the evolution of converged networks for IoT applications in mind. Network convergence (version 2.0) is here with changes and improvements made since the first converged network (Convergence 1.0). TIA TR-42 (Telecommunications Cabling Systems ANSI/TIA-568 family), BICSI (TDMM and others) and proprietary or third documents must adapt and adjust.
PoE: The IEEE 802.3bt standard, approved by the IEEE Standards Association Board on September 27, 2018, included some significant enhancements especially for LED lighting systems. This specification allows for up to 90W of delivered power for cable lengths of up to 100m through the use of all four pairs of wires.
Trade wars: It seem that there is a high tech “trade war” between USA and China. It affects specifically networking business. Big Chinese manufacturers Huawei and ZTE are have received sanctions and their products are not wanted by many countries citing their business practices and potential security nightmares. For example Japan to halt buying Huawei, ZTE equipment and Huawei has been under fire in UK, just to mention examples. It seems that the business that is lost by Huawei and ZTE could benefit Ericsson and Nokia in the 5G base station markets for short term.
Security: The internet is going to hell and its creators want your help fixing it. All agree on one thing however: Right now there is a serious battle for heart and minds, the future of the internet and global society itself. There seems to be need for a conference to address the fact that people increasingly see tech as a threat and no longer as a pure force for good. Government set to revise internal rules on procurement to protect national cybersecurity. Your DNS might be broken, and you don’t even know it. Some DNS old hacks gets thrown out of use by February 1st, 2019.
WiFi: WiFi technology gets new marketing naming. The numerical sequence includes: Wi-Fi 6 to identify devices that support 802.11ax technology, Wi-Fi 5 to identify devices that support 802.11ac technology, Wi-Fi 4 to identify devices that support 802.11n technology.
Faster mobile: Mobile networks are getting faster in many countries. Mobile networks are killing Wi-Fi for speed around the world. Average data speeds on mobile networks now outpace customer’s Wi-Fi connection, on average, in 33 countries. That’s the The State of Wifi vs Mobile Network Experience as 5G Arrives.
Energy efficiency: We need to develop more energy efficient networking technologies. Today, information and communication technologies globally consume 8% of electricity and doubles every year.

First the landlines are gone in Finland, now over million phone poles are being cut out.
In January, Telia (biggest operator on rural phone lines in Finland) announced that it will discontinue landline services in 2019. Stopping landline services also accelerates the elimination of telephone poles and telephone cable (Over 10 years, the cable has been removed for a total of 80,000 kilometers).
Still, some 100,000 phone poles will remain in use for supporting fiber optic cable.

UbiquitiLink Wants To Turn Every Cellphone Into a Satellite Phone
https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/satellites/ubiquitilinks-satellite-phone-service/
UbiquitiLink has developed technology that enables everyday cellphones to communicate directly with satellites in orbit.
For a start, they calculated that cellphones should—just—have enough power to reach satellites in very low earth orbits of around 400 kilometers, as long as they used frequencies below 1 GHz to minimize atmospheric attenuation. Messages would be queued until a satellite passes overheard—perhaps once a day at first, rising to hourly as more satellites are launched.
Satellites would use the same software found in terrestrial cell towers, with a few modifications. Signals would be Doppler shifted because of the satellite’s high velocity (around 7.5 kilometers/second).
UbiquitiLink also brushes off concerns about interference. In a filing with the FCC, the company noted that the downlink signal from its satellite “is very low and is intended to be the ‘tower of last resort.’”
The technology has already been tested. In February, an experimental satellite briefly connected with cellular devices in New Zealand and the Falkland Islands before a computer on board failed.
Miller says UbiquitiLink has trial agreements with nearly 20 operators around the world, and plans to operate a basic messaging service in 56 countries

Nearly a third of US households don’t have a broadband connection
https://tcrn.ch/2Y5Fe96
In its new Rural America and Technology study, NPD notes that 31% of U.S. households don’t have broadband (25Mbps downloads and up) internet connections. The number works out to roughly 100 million per the report. That figure, unsurprisingly, is highly concentrated in rural areas — less than one-fifth of that population has a broadband connection.

Wi-Fi 6 speed test: These are the fastest routers we’ve ever seen
https://www.cnet.com/news/wi-fi-6-speed-test-fastest-routers-weve-ever-seen/
It’s still too early to buy in, but the results of our first Wi-Fi 6 speed tests are incredibly promising.
We’re at the very beginning of the Wi-Fi 6 era, and new, next-gen routers capable of putting 802.11ax’s upgraded features to work are already up for sale. It’s early, though. Despite the fact that Wi-Fi 6 routers are backward-compatible with previous-gen Wi-Fi devices, they won’t be able to do much of anything to speed them up. For that, you’ll need new devices that support Wi-Fi 6, too — and hardly any are currently available.
Still, that hasn’t stopped us from wondering just how fast Wi-Fi 6 top speeds will ultimately be once new hardware gets here. Early estimates describe those top Wi-Fi 6 transfer speeds as 30% faster than the top Wi-Fi 5 transfer speeds.

The Truth About Faster Internet: It’s Not Worth It
https://www.wsj.com/graphics/faster-internet-not-worth-it/?mod=rsswn
WSJ testing shows typical U.S. households don’t use most of their bandwidth while streaming and get marginal gains from upgrading speeds
Americans are spending ever more for blazing internet speeds, on the promise that faster is better. Is that really the case?
For most people, the answer is no.
. “Fast speeds for all of your shows,” declares one online ad from Comcast.
But for a typical household, the benefits of paying for more than 100 megabits a second are marginal at best, according to the researchers. That means many households are paying a premium for services they don’t need.

When the Department of Justice approved T-Mobile’s purchase of Sprint, the DOJ’s antitrust officials insisted that an unusual remedy could replace the competition lost in the merger.
Sprint will no longer exist as a separate entity if the DOJ’s plan is finalized, reducing the number of major nationwide mobile carriers from four to three. But the government agency is simultaneously requiring T-Mobile and Sprint to sell some of their assets to Dish Network in what amounts to a government attempt to micromanage the mobile industry.
Dish, the government-selected replacement for Sprint, will create its own mobile service from its existing assets and spare parts the DOJ is requiring T-Mobile and Sprint to sell off

Researcher finds that U.S. wireless networks are throttling video streaming 24/7
https://techxplore.com/news/2019-08-wireless-networks-throttling-video-streaming.html
All wireless carriers admit to doing it: They slow down internet speed for video streaming, sometimes claiming that it is necessary to do so in order to control network congestion. It’s probably why the YouTube trailer for the new Star Wars movie took you forever to watch on the train ride home.
The practice is known as throttling, and according to a new study authored by David Choffnes, assistant professor of computer and information science at Northeastern, carriers throttle videos all the time—even when networks are not overloaded.

Lost amidst the hype around super-fast 5th Generation (5G) mobile networks is the reality that the next generation of Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6) is ready now. Wi-Fi 6 is capable of providing gigabit-fast 5G capabilities to consumers and businesses in cities, suburbs, and rural areas far sooner and more affordably than cellular networks. What’s missing is access to the wide channels of public airwaves that the Federal Communications Commission has proposed to open for shared, unlicensed use, from 5.9 to 7.2 GHz.

What Silicon Photonics Delivers at 1200 Gigabits Per Second
https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/networks/high-speed-silicon-photonics
Fiber-optic data rates on a single wavelength will take a big step up later this month. Acacia Communications says it will demonstrate a 1.2-terabit-per-second module at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) that is taking place from 22-26 September in Dublin. Transmission of up to 800 gigabits per second on a single wavelength was introduced for the first time this March at the Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC) in San Diego.
Data centers have long relied on coherent optical transmission of 100-gigabit Ethernet signals on each of many separate wavelengths carried by an optical fiber. Now operators have begun shifting traffic at busy data centers to 400-Gigabit Ethernet
Acacia’s new AC1200-SC2 module combines the DSP chip with integrated photonic circuits to generate a 1200-Gb/s signal for transmission on a single channel in a fiber. That makes the module optimizable for high speed over short distances and long distances at lower speed, says Acacia VP of marketing Tom Williams. The modules can transport three 400-GigE signals of data center traffic using the powerful but delicate 64QAM modulation scheme. For transmission over longer distances, the module can switch to more robust modulation schemes. 16QAM can carry two 400-GigE signals, and the rugged DPSK (Differential Phase Shift Key) scheme can transport one 400 GigE signal over 10,000 kilometers

Currently, IPv6 adoption in Belarus is about 15% on average, which is under the 29% global average; however, adoption rates have sometimes spiked over 30% during past tests.
Once enabled, customers will be assigned both an IPv4 and IPv6 internet address, and connections will run entirely over IPv6 when possible.
The IPv6 protocol was formally approved as an internet standard in 2017, and was designed as a replacement for the IPv4 protocol, which has almost exhausted all its available 4.3-billion address space.

DNS over HTTPS will make it harder for ISPs to monitor or modify DNS queries.
