Ethernet (AI Networking)
The standard networking protocol now challenging InfiniBand in AI clusters via the Broadcom-led Ultra Ethernet initiative.
Ethernet is the ubiquitous networking standard now competing with InfiniBand for AI cluster interconnect, led by the Broadcom-backed Ultra Ethernet Consortium. The pitch is open, multi-vendor networking at AI-class bandwidth, breaking NVIDIA's InfiniBand lock-in. The InfiniBand-versus-Ethernet contest is a central battleground in AI networking economics.
