The era of simple switching is over. As AI clusters explode in size, hyperscalers are pushing BGP routing directly to the server edge. Discover why FRRouting and Layer 3 fabrics are the new gold standard for massive-scale GPU interconnects.
As AI clusters scale to thousands of GPUs, traditional networking fails. Discover how the Ultra Ethernet Consortium is uniting industry giants to build an open, high-performance alternative to proprietary fabrics like InfiniBand for the next generation of data centers.
The open-source BGP landscape has evolved! See how FRRouting (FRR) has surpassed Quagga, where BIRD remains the king of IXPs, and how ExaBGP is the ultimate tool for network automation and anycasting. Choose the right daemon for your modern network design.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a routing protocol that is used to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems (ASes) on the Internet. BGP is designed to be used in large-scale network environments and is used by many organizations
Load balancers play a critical role in helping enterprises scale internet infrastructure. At the most basic level, load balancers ingest incoming internet traffic, then distributes the load across server infrastructure, as was the case when Google helped Niantic launch Pokémon
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the lifeblood of the Internet. At the most basic level, routers share network information between autonomous systems. It was designed by “Yakov Rekhter of IBM and Kirk Lougheed of Cisco” in 1989. As of August
Recently in the news, two networking startups have made big announcements. DriveNets is aiming to disrupt the CSP (communication service provider) market, where network architecture hasn’t changed much in the last decade. Aviatrix Systems is aiming to disrupt the cloud
Introduction to Maglev Maglev is Google’s custom network load balancer, which is used within all its data centers and operates at the distributed packet-level. Google is of course a significant source of global Internet traffic, which provides hundreds of user-facing
Last week, Nature Communications published a paper on a new device that promises to effectively utilize fiber optics in order to dramatically influence the future of the Internet, making Internet speeds 100x faster than today. Australia’s RMIT university of technology
eBay announced last week that it has been custom-building its own servers in order to replatform and bring up to date its backend infrastructure; and following the lead of Facebook, the eCommerce giant will be open-sourcing its designs. The open
Microsoft has decided to open source the code behind ONE, the system that emulates the global network powering the Azure cloud to help reduce network outages. What is ONE or the Open Network Emulator? The system is called the Open
Cato Networks was founded in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2015 by Shlomo Kramer, a co-founder of Imperva and cybersecurity/gear firm Check Point and Guy Shatz, a co-founder of Incapsula. The company’s initial focus was on launching its Network Security as
This post looks at Google’s QUIC and the PacketZoom Mobile Expresslane and how its two protocols differ; after starting with a summary of the existing Internet protocols and why there is a need for change. Challenges with packet delivery over
Today we are going to do a deep dive into Mode’s autonomous private network, following on from our post last month about their exiting from stealth and announcing Mode Core. Co-founders Dr. Nithin Michael (now CTO) and Dr. Kevin Tang
