I've seen references to 100Gi and 400Gi but I only see topology and it's hard to tell
what's real as we can mock up data. A LAG built with 100Gi is pretty wild, 400Gi LAGs
seems really farfarfarout. ;-)
As far as complexity, how about 'white boxes' where you load on Vendor X's OS on a
generic network device and suddenly the network box looks like vendor X despite not
even having that hardware in the box. Add SDN and IP over IP and vlans (and vlans in
vlans) and I have some really interesting discussions with the SEs.
From morse code speed (28,8 bps perhaps) to 400Gi. in a span of ~200 years.
