As artificial intelligence redefines the computing landscape, the network has become the critical backbone shaping the data center of the future. Large language model training performance is determined not only by compute resources but by the agility, capacity, and intelligence of the underlying network. The industry is witnessing the evolution from traditional, CPU-centric infrastructures toward…

Hi Ashkan, it’s good to see the that there is solid progress of CPO technologies. It seems you changed the front panel design of SN6800/SN6810. Do you move those MPO fiber connectors to the back? Besides, are there 32 ELSFP used with SN6810? Why do you need so many ELSFPs for 128 ports 102.4T system?
