These will continue in 2021 and will accelerate many technology transitions that service providers are conducting. IPv6 will Finally Overtake IPv4 Boosted by the growth of 5G devices and networks, and increased pressure on CISOs to upgrade enterprise networks for strong network security, many enterprise and websites will accelerate their eventual conversion to IPv6 in 2021. The Pandemic will have a Lasting Impact on Education â Remote/Online Learning will Continue Post Pandemic The abrupt conversion of in-classroom learning to remote during the pandemic, will encourage elementary, secondary and higher education to offer online options to traditional in-classroom on a regular basis. ervice Providers Move to the Edge â Faster than Expected Service providers will have to re-architect their access networks to accommodate the traffic shift from dense urban areas to suburban as work/play/learn at home continues, post-pandemic.
