Guest Post: Network monitoring has traditionally been built around a simple assumption: Most problems come from outside. What can we learn by observing the traffic that leaves our networks — especially when it does not receive a reply?
Guest Post: eBPF has been widely leveraged to improve network function performance. Can similar benefits be achieved for web servers and microservices?
Guest Post: How distributed forwarding and modern data plane architectures enable routers and AI fabrics to scale reliably and handle massive workloads without single points of failure.
Eight long held and common beliefs about the network have been shown, time after time, to be false. What are they, and what do they mean?
Guest Post: Flow control is a fundamental concept in the design of high-performance networks. In part three of this three-part deep dive series, we explore how flow control is implemented in switch ASICs.
Guest Post: Flow control is a fundamental concept in the design of high-performance networks. In part two of this three-part deep dive series, we compare rate-based and credit-based approaches to flow control.
Marc Blanchet’s presentation about deep space networking imagines a future where the Internet works well for people on the moon, and those they are connected to back on Earth.
Guest Post: Flow control is a fundamental concept in the design of high-performance networks. In part one of this three-part deep dive series, we look at the principles of flow control.
Free-air laser communications could overcome path problems confronting network infrastructure and help address the ‘last mile’ delivery problem.
Guest Post: AI breakthroughs aren’t just about GPUs — networks are the bottleneck. Even 0.1% packet loss can cut GPU use by 13%, making job completion hinge on robust, predictable network design.
