I think the researchers go to the working on the following projects:

1: Li-Fi technology.

2: Radio over fiber (RoF).

3: Radio over Free Space Optics (RoFSO).

1. Video streaming over computer networks with high quality

2. QoS monitoring

Dear Francis Kwadzo Agbenyegah,

the list of current research problems (trends) in the field of (computer) networking is long. I reduced them to the "Top 10 Networking Trends". The list is under address:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_are_the_recent_and_latest_trends_in_Computer_networks

There is my list, also shown in graphic form. In the individual trends, I have also mentioned several problems.

Best regards
