Honey, the reporter flattened the datacenter network.
Key facts
- Traditional networks have always been hierarchical," explained Matt Rehder, VP of global network engineering at AWS, in a recent interview
- Rehder said that academics in 2012 proposed a random graph topology for networks
- The novel architecture, called Resilient Network Graphs (RNG), is based on random graph theory
- With help from AWS principal applied scientist Giacomo Bernardi and other colleagues, AWS has become the first company to deploy a flat datacenter network at scale
Summary
Amazon has developed a new networking topology that's up to a third faster and up to 40 percent more energy efficient than traditional hierarchical network designs. The novel architecture, called Resilient Network Graphs (RNG), is based on random graph theory. "Traditional networks have always been hierarchical," explained Matt Rehder, VP of global network engineering at AWS, in a recent interview. Broadcom gets early start on WiFi 8 with next-gen wireless routing kit.
