How to Accommodate Network Slicing and Network Neutrality?

Network slicing has emerged, with 5G mobile networks, as a response to the increasing networks’ complexity and the inherent scaling limitations of traditional methods. That technological building block allows, in fact, a very agile orchestration of services, bringing dynamicity, differentiation, and most importantly the fulfillment of various service constraints. Slicing is therefore seen as a key characteristic of 5G-and-beyond networks, however it seems in contradiction with neutrality principles promoted worldwide. We detail the two contradictory but considered compulsory notions, and discuss how they can be accommodated.
