Keynote: The Challenge and Opportunity to Build a Transparent Network

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Alibaba runs hyperscale data centers connecting hundreds of thousands of nodes and reports problems like 1 in 10,000 packet loss that break modern apps, so current control planes (BGP, BFD) that only report binary status and recover in 50 ms to tens of seconds are inadequate. The effort shifts to adding chip-level instrumentation, richer telemetry, and standards so applications and orchestration can detect, isolate and respond to subtle errors faster using big data and machine learning.
