Fabric Aggregator: A flexible solution to our traffic demand
SummaryAI, from the source post

Introduced the Fabric Aggregator, a distributed network system designed to scale network capacity between data center fabrics. This system leverages disaggregated building blocks like Wedge 100 switches and FBOSS, with a 2-layer cross-connect architecture for east/west and north/south traffic. It allows for independent scaling of capacities, interchangeable subswitches, and isolated failures for improved reliability. The post also details operational aspects for subswitch/node maintenance and backplane cabling configurations for single-rack and multi-rack deployments.
