This presentation investigates the proximity to a low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) threshold that can still maintain a tolerable Bit Error Rate (BER) in 100G / 400G / 800G network links. Additionally, we account for factors such as temperature and cable length to predict the duration for which a reliable network connection can be sustained between transceivers. The analysis, based on data...
In an era of geopolitical tension, climate disruption, and rapidly increasing bandwidth demands, network resilience is no longer optional—it's critical infrastructure. This session examines how Europe is digitally connected to the world: the submarine cables and terrestrial routes that form its backbone, the hidden vulnerabilities exposed by recent incidents, and the strategic steps needed to...
Discover powerful but lesser-known BGP features in FRRouting that can simplify operations, improve control, and boost performance. Whether you're an operator or developer, you'll walk away with practical tools and ideas you likely haven’t explored yet.
As networks grow in complexity and scale, manual operations are no longer sustainable. Yet, many organizations struggle to go beyond isolated Command Line Interface (CLI), Graphical User Interface (GUI), or siloed tooling. This talk presents The Network Automation Blueprint, a structured, vendor-neutral approach to designing and executing scalable network automation.
We begin by addressing...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) set new demands on current data center infrastructure as it is undergoing a paradigm shift to be able to cope with the new demands possessed by AI clusters to support various use cases. AI clusters can be built in various sizes based on specific needs and workloads. This presentation will explore the data center network infrastructure evolution around the CLOS IP...
