Current Benchmarks Fail to Assess True Network Performance and Scalability Infrastructures fail to scale even when overprovisioned "This infrastructure was verified to handle an application traffic capacity of over three Terabits per second (Tbps)”. This type of statement is prevalent in the tech industry, implying that a network deployment is supposedly well-equipped with ample computing power, memory, network interface cards (NICs and potentially SmartNICs), and other components. Such statements are backed by standardized throughput benchmarking test strategies that are employed to assess and rate the infrastructure based largely on bandwidth statistics achieved from running such tests. This white paper highlights the inadequacies of current bandwidth-based benchmarking strategies and illustrates why .... https://lnkd.in/e8iGq6nW

Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Aggregation | Managed Layer 2 Switch with 8 SFP+ 10G Ports (USW-Aggregation) Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Aggregation | Managed Layer 2 Switch with 8 SFP+ 10G Ports (USW-Aggregation) The Ubiquiti UniFi Switch Aggregation is a fully managed, Layer 2 switch with 8 SFP+ 10G ports designed to enhance your network’s switching capacity and performance by creating high-bandwidth aggregation links. It is a compact, fanless switch that can be easily mounted in a 1U rack. The USW-Aggregation features a switching capacity of 160 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 119.04 Mpps. It supports a variety of link aggregation methods, including LACP, Static LAG, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The switch also supports a variety of QoS features, including traffic shaping, priority queuing, and bandwidth reservation.

My view for #vRAN and #OpenRAN Success is as below: vRAN and OpenRAN are not new generations like 4G, 5G, or even 6G. It's a new way of implementing of #access domain in a new way helping at the end to improve the flexibility, cost, and agility in the #RAN domain. Some points should be considered below: 📃 Selecting the right #vendor that has a good solution that aligns with MNO's network architecture and software stack. 📃 Multi-vendor #Interoperability, especially between Software and Hardware manufacturers. 📃 #Fronthaul dimension and interoperability between RUs and DUs. 📃Proof of #TCO reduction in a brown field not just green field in different environments from rural to urban. 📃 Infrastructure #sharing and common operations from edge to core network: 📃The importance of selecting an appropriate #accelerator type that aligns with the MNOs’ network architecture and requirements associated with their deployment scenarios.  📃 Enhancing cell capacity and power efficiency compared to #traditional RAN. 📃 Selecting the right #orchestration function that is essential to automate and centrally manage the configuration, provisioning, and scaling of vRAN components. https://lnkd.in/dvUx58WR

Shifting to converged large-scale networks? https://hubs.la/Q02H4VgR0 Network control is fading for service providers (SPs). SPs are actively seeking new ways to build and operate their networks more efficiently. They need simpler, more flexible solutions that can mitigate their operational overhead. One key aspect to simpler network design is shifting to a converged network, where different mobile, business, and residential services are all supported on a unified transport platform. Download this paper to explore how new optical interface standards can be part of this convergence and how the role of optics is evolving for modern large-scale networks.

Site deployments can achieve impressive speeds, but the real challenge lies at the ISP level. I'm curious about when ISPs will match WiFi 7's capabilities. Currently, only a few ISPs provide 10 Gbps speeds in select locations. I anticipate that by 2030, we could see broader availability of 10 Gbps internet. Looking further ahead, by the mid to late 2030s, as network infrastructure advances, we might begin to approach speeds nearing 46 Gbps. Timeline of new standards: (1999) WiFi 1 (802.11b): Up to 11 Mbps (1999) WiFi 2 (802.11a): Up to 54 Mbps (2003) WiFi 3 (802.11g): Up to 54 Mbps (2009) WiFi 4 (802.11n): Up to 600 Mbps (2013) WiFi 5 (802.11ac): Up to 3.5 Gbps (2019) WiFi 6 (802.11ax): Up to 9.6 Gbps (2021) WiFi 6E (802.11ax): Up to 9.6 Gbps (operates in the 6 GHz band) (2024) WiFi 7 (802.11be): Up to 46 Gbps https://lnkd.in/ggdyzk9U
