Dive into the world of high-performance networking. In this article, you will discover solutions to optimize Ethernet for AI/ML and HPC environments, ensuring seamless GPU synchronization and enhanced network performance.

This article is not an exploration of who does Ethernet better so much as a direct examination of technology itself. Numbers will be reported as an aggregate means between major players in the AI Networking market and contrasted with equivalent InfiniBand performance. The goal is to answer, at an atomic level, one question: eliminating all other variables, is Ethernet good enough?

In late 2023, a Fortinet SD-WAN/SD-Branch proof of concept (POC) test was completed in the WWT Advanced Technology Center. Here, we present a summary of the results.

At its core, eBPF Programs are at the heart of how eBPF views and controls traffic. The eBPF technology is composed of bytecode that the kernel executes in response to specific events (a.k.a event-driven execution). Meaning the eBPF programs can be attached to various hook points in the kernel, allowing them to run in response to a specific event in the kernel. There's a lot of possibilities that stem from this event-driven execution. So many in fact, that eBPF was dubbed by Brendan Gregg as "superpowers for Linux!"

The rapid growth of devices has exhausted IPv4 addresses, hindering expansion. Transitioning to IPv6, with its vast address space, eliminates the need for complex techniques like NAT, enhances security and supports emerging technologies. Embracing IPv6 future-proofs networks, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient address allocation.

The convergence of DWDM and routing technology — are 400G pluggable DWDM optics the key to this long-sought union? Let's take a look.

The release of 100G ZR coherent QSFP28 transceivers from Nokia, Cisco and others promises to accelerate the already rapid shift from traditional core network designs to optical and packet converged architectures.

There are various transport network architectures, from strictly Layer 1 optical rings to meshed Layer 1 through Layer 3 converged networks. How do you decide? This article provides a high level overview of three different architectures, their typical use cases and benefits.

For the fifth consecutive year, Fortinet has been recognized as a Leader in Secure SD-WAN. But can they apply the same rigor and discipline that earned them this leadership position in the SASE space? WWT believes they can, and here's why.

Buckle up for a ride on the data highway! This article explores how optical networks are innovating in 2024 to handle the explosion of bandwidth needs. Expect increased core data transmissions with the increased usage of 5G, XGS-PON, DOCSIS 4.0 and AI. We will also speak towards more flexible and powerful networks thanks to open systems and 800G/1.2T. Finally, learn how AI is optimizing these networks for efficiency and sustainability.
