Dan Mahoney notes on the <strong>NANOG</strong> mailing list that supporting such a protocol demands every device be upgraded, yet vendors refuse to sell contracts for end-of-life kit still populating the global edge. While the global telecom infrastructure market expands at a <strong>5.78% CAGR</strong>, the reality on the ground remains stuck managing twice the <strong>RIB</strong> and peering complexity for marginal gains.</p>https://wirez.top/posts/neocloud-networking-gaps-halt-ai-training-speed/Fri, 08 May 2026 04:09:10 +0000https://wirez.top/posts/neocloud-networking-gaps-halt-ai-training-speed/<meta charset="utf-8"> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":"std-text"} --> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"className":"std-text"} --> <p class="std-text">Cutting NIC counts from eight to four per server creates a 50% bandwidth bottleneck that cripples AI training, according to Omdia.</p>
