Network slicing: an alternate solution for congestion issues in network convergence

Network traffic management will shift from policies based on source to management based on traffic characteristics. Adoption of cutting-edge congestion controls whether from endpoints, or advanced queue management developments should assist both the efficient usage of network capacity and improved customer experience. The existing IP stack may not be capable to fulfill demands, due to inherent constraints. Network slicing, SDN & NFV technologies are providing great resource. With the help of these technologies networks can be built in a dynamic way with more scalability & flexibility. This paper discusses network slicing with the view of how it enables operators to create and support multiple virtual networks. Network slicing is a novel technology which provides resources in the upcoming wireless networks. Rapid convergence of technologies in networks, created lot of issues of congestion and traffic management, in this regard network slicing is a good alternate for traffic management in convergent network.
