The doctor from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena Francisco Javier Moreno says there is a traffic problem that can collapse the networks.

To do this, he gives examples such as Netflix, which, he says, handles a quantity of data that could determine communication networks in the future.

"There are already cases in which the networks have collapsed," he says.

In his doctoral thesis entitled 'Planning and optimization of optical networks in the Internet of the Future', directed by Pablo Pavón Mariño and Mª Victoria Bueno Delgado, Moreno explains that there is a "problem" related to Internet traffic, which "has grown very much "so this can get to" saturate the structures of the backbone networks ".

According to the researcher, although the 5G is now in the process of research and standardization, it is a reality that in a few years will be implemented to improve the latency, that is, the time it takes since a request is made to an application and the time that it takes to receive it, "that will be less, so our sensation in the mobile, for example, will be faster, but it will depend on the structure of 5G networks, not so much on the devices themselves".

However, it considers that its implementation will have "implications" in the cities, since at the level of network management it supposes a new level of control and management that will lead to the investigation of new techniques that automate the systems and oblige to address them in a "more efficient the requirements of 5G ".

According to him, in a few years the devices will have closer the content because "there will be more copies of the content that the user demands, in addition as there will be more devices, it is necessary to do the above".

He adds that the nature of future applications will be "determinant for the future of networks worldwide.

A few years ago there was no Netflix and the current scenario has changed, but in a few years we do not know what kind of applications there will be, and the future of the networks, including those related to 5G, will depend on the nature of such applications. "
