SUMMARY:Make Sure the Network Isn’t the Problem!  400GE Considerations and
  Best Practices for Testing the Cluster Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Exhibitor Forum\nNetworks\n\nMake Sure the Network Isn’t the P
 roblem!  400GE Considerations and Best Practices for Testing the Cluster F
 abric\n\nLow\n\n400GE by its very nature, introduces new challenges—increa
 sed bit error rate, mandatory FEC, and the performance of the PCS in the p
 resence of errors that 56Gb/s SERDES and PAM-4 encoding inherently provide
 .  400GE is destined to be adopted by the industry at least 2x faster than
  was 100GE, and is right around the corner for supercomputing clusters.  W
 ith all new optics and cables, switches, and servers driven by 400/200/100
 /50/25GE speeds, the need for testing has never been greater.  Testing not
  just by chip and equipment makers, but by independent benchmark and perfo
 rmance test organizations.\n\nThe end users—data centers, supercomputing e
 nvironments, service providers, and network operators—need empirical data 
 on which equipment will satisfy their particular network needs.  This is e
 vident in the use of traffic generation to verify SCinet circuits. It's a 
 critical time to renew efforts to compare and benchmark the performance of
  these new network products and devices.
