Survey of the future network technology and trend

Abstract

Several typical technologies about the future network were introduced.First, the background of each technology were introduced.Then, the current research progress and main results of each technology were expounded from eight aspects: network control and orchestration, programmable network, deterministic network, network computing and storage integration, network with artificial intelligence, network with blockchain, intelligent security network, space network.Finally the development trends and challenges of each technology were analyzed.It was expected that by 2030, the future network will support trillion-level, human-machine, all-time-space, safe, and intelligent connections and services.It is hoped that it can provide references and help for future network research.
