So not sure what applications are driving the demand for "greater QoS"
on 5G networks, in real terms.


Mark,

V2X, no?

Otherwise, I'm perfectly in agreement with what you've just written.

The survey I pointed to suggests that hard slicing is the least
preferred option among survey respondents.

That's because the very nature of DWDM, Ethernet, IP, MPLS and VM's is
all about re-using the same infrastructure over and over again for it to
make commercial sense.

I doubt we want to move away from those concepts.

We rely on many services today delivered over the public Internet that
virtualize and still perform. Even good ol' video streaming, which was
predicted to break the Internet.
