Rich Bennett, Steven Nurenberg · 2017
This chapter provides context for and introduces topics covered in subsequent chapters. We summarize major factors that are driving the transformation of telecom networks, characteristics of a modern all-IP network, and briefly describe how the characteristics change as an all-IP network transforms to a Network Cloud. The brief descriptions of change include references to succeeding chapters that explore each topic in more detail.
