“…. a new era of unpredictable traffic growth is upon us, driven by the emergence – and soon, dominance – of artificial intelligence. A recent global survey found that data center experts anticipate at least a sixfold increase in DCI bandwidth demand over the next five years, requiring new levels of scalability. As generative AI goes multi-modal ….”

Re-Engineering Ethernet for AI Fabric
Ethernet wasn’t built with AI in mind. While cost-effective and ubiquitous, its best-effort, packet-based nature creates challenges in AI clusters… But fabric-scheduled Ethernet transforms Ethernet into a predictable, lossless, scalable fabric – ideal for AI. It uses cell spraying and virtual output queuing ….
At ISC 2025: DriveNets Talks Ethernet-based AI Networking
In this interview, Kikozashvili looks at DriveNets’ AI Ethernet solution that is used as a back-end network fabric for large GPU clusters and storage networking solution and how it supports the high-performance Ethernet alternative to InfiniBand.
