Abstract

This chapter is one of the first approaches to systematize knowledge and describe in an accessible form emerging network technologies that are commonly associated with digital transformation. The main focus is on emerging network technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), (Docker) Container Networking, Cloud computing, Edge Computing, Information-centric Networking and Services, Time-Sensitive and Deterministic Networking, 5G/6G, AI-based Networking and many other contexts related to advanced communications. Practical and innovative applications of such networks are also discussed, including network security, smart cities, e-health, and smart systems. A number of key issues in the areas of Internet of Things (IoT) and intent-based networking (IBN) smart systems are discussed. Fundamental concepts and architectures for new developments in communications are proposed. The chapter looks at the impact of AI on various networking products and solutions, including embedded hardware, components, and software platforms (automation, optimization, and network transformation). It also discusses the role of SDN, edge computing, NFV and augmented intelligence in shaping and supporting AI-driven network ecosystems. A more detailed consideration of each of the outlined visions of network technologies on the essence of the term “digital transformation” makes it possible to highlight common features in the concept of future development.
