  eXtended reality (XR) technologies such as virtual reality and 360{\deg}
stereoscopic streaming enable the concept of the Metaverse, an immersive
virtual space for collaboration and interaction. To ensure high fidelity
display of immersive media, the bandwidth, latency and network traffic patterns
will need to be considered to ensure a user's Quality of Experience (QoE). In
this article, examples and calculations are explored to demonstrate the
requirements of the abovementioned parameters. Additionally, future methods
such as network-awareness using reinforcement learning (RL) and XR content
awareness using spatial or temporal difference in the frames could be explored
from a multimedia communications perspective.
