Cisco's Chief Architect for Service Provider Mobility, Bob Everson, testified before the Senate Commerce Telecom Subcommittee on how AI is transforming network infrastructure. Key points include a projected 209% surge in AI-driven campus and branch traffic over three years, AI agents generating 450% more traffic per task than human users, and the need for AI-native operations (AgenticOps) to enable self-healing, machine-speed networks. Everson outlined three policy priorities: accelerating the U.S. AI-native networking stack (including the AI-WIN collaboration with NVIDIA, MITRE, and T-Mobile), modernizing infrastructure permitting, and maintaining balanced spectrum policy to support 5G-Advanced and future 6G leadership.
