AI workloads are fundamentally altering data center network traffic, shifting it towards sustained, high-bandwidth transfers between storage and compute resources. This consolidation into fewer, larger, and more synchronized data flows, observed at rates from 100 Gbps to 1 Tbps, necessitates a reevaluation of network infrastructure. Providers are adapting by optimizing for these persistent, high-throughput connections rather than numerous short-lived ones, impacting switching and congestion management. AI
