Next Generation Fabric for AI/ML use cases: Disaggregated Scheduled Fabric using SONiC

Presented by Prashanth Buddhala (Cisco)
With the advent of AI/ML applications driving the next technological revolution, Data Center network infrastructure that powers these AI/ML clusters takes center stage in enabling that leap forward. In this talk we will focus on how traditional ECMP based IP fabrics fall short of meeting the requirements for such applications and how Disaggregated Scheduled Fabric built using SONiC enables optimal usage of the available network bandwidth. We will share how we developed, deployed and analyzed both technologies and will share how they compare.
