Introduced the Fabric Aggregator, a distributed network system designed to scale network capacity between data center fabrics. This system leverages simple, open building blocks like Wedge 100 switches and FBOSS, employing a disaggregated approach with a 2-layer cross-connect architecture (downstream for east/west traffic, upstream for north/south traffic). It allows for independent scaling of traffic capacities and ensures reliability through isolated failures due to independent subswitch operation. The design supports both single-rack and multi-rack deployment types with various cabling configurations.
