You want each ASIC to have 24 external NICs (so 192 NICs for a server?) with all the cabling/backplanes that would require?

- latchkey 3y agoThey are 24x200G, which is already outdated. Everything we are doing is currently 400G (via 8xCX7 cards running in ethernet mode) and 800G at the spine. 800G NICs, which will come with PCIe6 next year and cuts the number of connections down. What I'd prefer is the connection is through the UBB/OAM baseboard, such that you have PCIe connections. Look into what GigaIO and Liqid are doing. There is a 3rd option that is even cooler than those two, but I don't want to mention it here. ;-)
