With the adoption of 5G, carriers may offer some higher-paying customers more bandwidth than others on the same physical network infrastructure. Principal analyst and president of J. Gold Associates, Jack Gold, talks with Juliet about what network slicing is and why it’s important for enterprises.

    very well explained, better than those who read a bunch of papers than read them to people that have not a lot of background in the field ...

    Watching from Cameroon 1🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲

    Perfect and to the point. Thanks for the video.

    How does NFV and SDN play a role in network slicing? are multiple technologies needed
  • @mraa4950
    She has cupboard partitioned/ sliced for different types of storage / services

    I'm literally crying... Despite my efforts, going through all the damn documents, it didn't match the knowledge gained in five minutes.

    Jack, I'm not sure I understand the benefit of network slicing. Of course different users/apps have different requirements regarding amount of data (per second or aggregated over a month), but this is already managed based on granted QoS, policy control and tracking of data consumption. Why would we need another feature (i.e. network slicing) for this task? It would seem that network slicing addresses another dimension of managing load while assuring that granted service is maintained. In other words: even prior to the introduction of network slicing, an IoT device got the bandwidth it is paying for and offered through contract - not more and not less -, rather than "stealing" lots of bandwidth from others. Is the motive of network slicing to optimize platform and infrastructure configuration and architecture to assure that required QoS for all UEs and Data Flows is met under all network load conditions (deterministically), which is difficult or impossible to achieve when the network is very loaded and the variety of QoS in a single network is large?

    So, who uses it and how do they slice the network into portions? Didn't you think to ask those questions? How else would this information be useful?

    I think they will put a machine learning to automate the network slicing
