Mobile Networking

“I think of this [networking] in the context of evolution … Networking is like a living organism; it is evolving quicker now than it ever has in the last 100 years,” said Bob Friday, VP and AI chief scientist, Juniper Networks. “We’ve gone from almost no mobility to where now almost 70% of all our internet traffic is over some mobile connection. If you look where we’re headed in the future, we’re connecting more things. When I look at networking right now, we’re evolving from workloads that were in the enterprise space now being distributed across data centers everywhere, and if you look in the future, networking is going to be evolving even faster than what we’ve seen over the last 30 years. For me it’s far from a commodity; it’s an evolving organism that is evolving faster than we’ve ever seen.”
