SRv6 Finds Its AI Fabric Moment as Hyperscalers Race to Own Their Silicon
Microsoft revealed at NANOG ninety-six that it is running SRv6 uSID over SONiC in production AI training clusters to solve ECMP entropy at scale — and hyperscaler earnings week confirmed that Google and Amazon are now chip companies, not just cloud providers.
Asher, before we do the welcome — I want to flag something that came out of NANOG ninety-six in February that I think deserves real airtime. Microsoft engineers presented a production deployment of SRv6 uSID running over SONiC in AI training cluster backends, and the secondary coverage is only now surfacing. That's the lead today.
The SRv6 over SONiC story is exactly what this show exists to cover — a standards-track, open-source stack running at production hyperscale on the hardest problem in AI fabric design. We will dig into that properly. But let's do the welcome first.
Welcome to Amaze Networks for Thursday, April thirtieth, twenty twenty-six. I'm Zoe, joined by Asher. Today: the most important AI fabric architecture disclosure of the quarter, hyperscaler earnings that confirm the compute market is restructuring, four solid automation stories, and a physics result that cracked a hundred-and-sixty-year-old law of nature by a factor of two hundred.
New episodes, every weekday.
