We outline these calculations in more detail and discuss this topic at greater length in our CPO Book Report .

Evidence

Increased overall network reliability is another compelling point. Transceivers can be unreliable, with a large cluster certain to have ongoing link flaps. Meta’s study presented at ECOC showed strong reliability results over 15M 400G port-device hours, which is about equivalent 15 CPO switches tested for 11 months in a lab. It is an encouraging start – but we think this point could get stronger with more in field test deployments.

Context After

The last factor in favor of adoption of CPO that we would like to mention is the fact that some of Nvidia’s CPO switch SKUs contain the integrated fiber shuffle and can simplify the installation and maintenance of multi-plane network architectures. Recall that the SN6800 contains four Switch ASICs in a multi-plane configuration connected to ports via an integrated fiber shuffle, delivering 409.6T aggregate bandwidth, while the SN6810 uses one Switch ASIC, but without any integrated fiber shuffle, to deliver 102.4T aggregate bandwidth.

But first, we will explain why we think multi-plane networking architectures are here to stay as an important preface.

② Atomic Claim

Meta 在 ECOC 提出的研究,在 1,500 萬 400G port-device hours 上呈現良好 reliability results,約等同於 15 台 CPO switches 在實驗室測試 11 個月。
