Networking for Distributed Cloud & Edge Computing

on YouTube ↗21m

" summary

Tencent runs a distributed cloud with 27 regions, >2M servers, >3,000 PoPs and ~300 edge nodes, and moves from a software gateway (VPP/DPDK, ODL then microservices SDN, BGP/BFD) that consumes ~30% of small-site servers to a hardware offload: P4 offload on smart switches with FPGA/NPUs, SONiC on Tencent Linux, Dockerized applications and gRPC telemetry. The phase change yields much higher throughput, lower latency and cost: cloud gaming shows ~50% RTT reduction and ~30–40% bandwidth OPEX savings.
