According to the Cisco Annual Internet Report 2018-2023, over seventy percent (70%) of the global population will have mobile connectivity by 2023 and much of that traffic will require access to latency-sensitive streaming content or cloud-hosted services. Service Providers must satisfy this growing demand from networked devices with more than just bandwidth augments: they will need to utilize advanced traffic engineering techniques like Segment Routing to maintain the experience requirements of the consumer and content providers.
The growth in latency-sensitive traffic and the move to cloud services will fuel increased bandwidth requirements in every section of the network: edge, aggregation, and core.
