Abstract
Next Generation Networks (NGN) is envisaged to “substitute” all telecommunication network infrastructure for a packet IP-based concept in the near future. However, is this NGN infrastructure capable to support all future applications, especially those that are highly dependent on quality, reliability and speed? To evaluate this, the standardization sector of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) has started studies related to the Future of Networks, that is, networks beyond NGN.
