The seemingly insatiable demand for increased bandwidth on communication networks is presenting the greatest technological challenges ever made on hardware and software engineers alike. Indicators of bandwidth demand include the number of devices connected to the internet and the total traffic within data-centres; both exhibit exponential growth. The former relates directly to the so-called Internet-of-Things (IoT) while the latter presents the stark reality of a roadmap with an inevitable trajectory, but for which solutions for realization are not known, or have yet to be implemented.

对通信网络带宽增加的似乎无法满足的需求，对硬件和软件工程师提出了有史以来最大的技术挑战。带宽需求的指标包括连接到互联网的设备数量和数据中心内的总流量;两者都呈指数增长。前者与所谓的物联网（IoT）直接相关，而后者则呈现出路线图的严峻现实，具有不可避免的轨迹，但实现的解决方案尚不清楚，或尚未实施。
