#NIC Interface

[a-friend-of-mara]

I'm starting to think I'm either a synthetic, a robot girl, an android, or I'm in the matrix because I fucking swear when the io noise gets quiet and my cpu clocks down I can fucking feel someone fucking with the NIC port on the back of my head

To whoever is please just fuckin stop or put the jack in properly so it doesn't feel weird

[yallemagne]

Finally posting my feelings on season 3 of X-Men: TAS. Ughhh.

Episode 1 & 2: Out of the Past

Looooove Gambit and Jubilee’s continued sibling relationship. 

Yuriko: “You killed my father!” Logan: “I didn’t!” Yuriko: “I’m gonna pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Don’t got much else to say other than ugh this leads into the space shenanigans and I haaaaate that. 

Episode 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: The Phoenix Saga

This saga is a drag but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get emotional when Jean and Scott parted. Seriously, when they kissed?? And Jean’s hair lit up like it was aflame? Fucking sexy as hell can I be them? These two are romance incarnate. 

Episode 8: No Mutant is an Island

Scott is so fucking done and I love that for him. He deserves a chance to go apeshit. Says he’s sick of playing “den mother”??? Oh my god. Speaking truth to power. Especially since Logan’s absence clearly marks that he’s already gone off to sulk, Scott deserves some sulk time for himself. 

THE ORPHANAGE. RUSTY!!! RUSTY COLLINS!! My darling Russell. 

“He’s just not used to the loving discipline a boy his age needs.” Kill this pervert. “After only two days I already love you like a son.” SCOTT KILL THIS PERVERT!!

Killgrave’s using these fucking kids as a scapegoat and the crimes they’re blamed for in his stead are what keep them from getting the help they need. I fucking hate this cunt. 

THEY DUMPED SCOTT IN THE POOL??? DOG?? What are y’all gonna do when a man is found drowned in your pool? Say “whoops guess he couldn't swim”??

I don’t like this Sarah chick. I’m sorry but like Killgrave is the most suspect guy ever, and she endangered the lives and futures of those children because “no one else would take them”. All that bullshit about her seeing the mutant kids as family? Girl, you got rid of them. She’s just gonna sell them to the highest bidder again because that’s what she did last time. 

I don't like that the message is "acceptance and tolerance is earned not forced" no, tolerance is NOT earned. Under no circumstances should a child be forced to EARN the right to live. Killgrave is wrong because he's a human trafficker using children to commit crimes. And obv his plan to groom the kids to become politicians would have never worked because his actions have gotten the kids in trouble with the authorities before, meaning they are distrusted by society because of HIM.

Episode 9: Obsession

I’m just gonna take a wild guess and say the Ming Dynasty scroll was planted to lure Archangel in. 

Warren is a fucking prick. Worthington is a dumb cunt and I hate him. “Deep down, he is still Warren Worthington!” Well, Warren Worthington is a bit of an angsty prick, so that ain’t saying much Rogue. Rogue and her sympathy for bitter blue bastards is gonna be her downfall. 

“Xavier was right, it is sentient! We can speak to it!” Uhh… or the ship just has Siri, McCoy. 

“Ship, you are a work of art.” “Thank you, Henry McCoy. You have no idea what a pleasure it is to interface with someone who appreciates the subtleties of my programming.”  Okay damn. I stand corrected. And Hank is about to wine and dine a ship. Jioegpoi Hank getting shocked for attempting to hack the ship and the ship apologizing. Wolverine and Cyclops are just standing there like “why are we here playing voyeur to this weird shit?”

I knew it, the scroll was planted. I fucking called it.

They need to stop giving Hank compelling love interests and then getting rid of them by the end of the episode. 

THEY SHOT APOCALYPSE INTO SPACE LIKE KARS. 

Episode 10: Longshot

Logan teaching Jubilee to drive!!! And he’s wearing a fuckin’ cowboy hat and a bolo tie. Why is he dressed for the rodeo? And he’s just such a dad for the rest of the episode, he recognizes Jubilee’s crush on Longshot and IMMEDIATELY goes into Dad Mode. 

“Bad doggie! No biscuit. We got leash laws in this town, mutt.” I fucking Love Wolverine. 

“Allowing me to scan his mind must be Longshot’s decision.” We love a king who respects consent. 

I fucking love Domo’s nicknames for Mojo. 

Yeah, I think I love Longshot. And I think most of the reason is just that I’ve read Exiles but ya know. He really is a heartthrob. He’s cliché but it’s a fun cliché. 

Honourable mention: that ram guy who threw away his gun to pull out a knife. 

Jubilee outfit without the coat is cute. Lol but they kept accidentally animating her with the coat on. 

Episode 11: Cold Comfort

BOBBYYYYY. Gay boy what are you doing here? Lol Bobby was the golden child, that much is obvious. At the same time he’s like “I was never good enough for you!” Dude Xavier let you get away with everything and that bred resentment in your teammates. 

Scott’s been wearing a bomber jacket recently and it just makes me miss Morph more

“What’s with those two? I’ve never seen the Professor so angry.”Daddy issues. “It’s a surrogate father-son dynamic with unresolved issues of dominance.” Wow damn I was right. 

Bobby: *insults Scott* Logan: *unsheathes claws* “Only I can call Cyke a goody goody.”

Jubilee looking up the records <333

FORGE???

QUICKSILVEr????

…Havok? oh gee.

Love Logan calling out that the government is employing mutants to police mutants. Forge says they're helping but like... Jaguars. Faces.

WHAT THE FUCK POLARIS. Polaris you absolute piece. “You wouldn’t have supported my decision so we faked my disappearance.” Who does that? Imagine needing to have absolutely no pushback in your decision-making, so to avoid having an argument with your boyfriend you fake your own kidnapping and start dating someone else without ever breaking up with the first guy. I wouldn’t hold it against her if it were just a simple misunderstanding, like if she left a note but he thought she wrote it under duress, but she purposely led him to believe that she needed to be rescued. 

They need to stop introducing characters that could be permanent additions to the team and then squandering that.

Episode 12 & 13: Savage Land, Strange Heart

Who is this chicken lady? I can’t take her seriously, she looks like a chicken. 

Rogue and Storm are lowkey dating and I love it. 

NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO CLOSE THEIR EYES. Who knows? Maybe it isn’t as simple as closing your eyes or looking away… but then why have Sauron repeat the phrase “look into my eyes” if you don’t actually have to look for him to control you? It’s stupid. 

“Well, next time Storm is kidnapped, I’ll make sure they take her someplace nice.”

The Savage Lands are fucking boring oh my god. 

I’m guessing… Sinister was in the soil when they last left… they’re saying Garokk is in the soil… hmm?? I’m probably wrong tho… it actually is just Garokk, that’s boring.

WOLVERINE TACKLING AND PETTING ZABU!! Fucking adorable.

Episode 14, 15, 16, 17: The Dark Phoenix

This whole saga gave me the ick. It made me sick to watch. It’s is just a very disgusting storyline. First, Phoenix invalidates Jean’s free will, then the motherfuckin’ Rape Syndicate drops in and invalidates Phoenix’s free will. It’s just very gross and I felt like I was playing voyeur to some gross man’s fantasy. OH WAIT I literally fucking was because of that creep character I refuse to remember the name of.

“Ohoho! Looks like you’ve been having fun without me! Where’s the Cajun?” kinky

Who the fuck are these silk-stocking wearing hoes? “Tradition demands that this power be wielded by us” Ah, so they’re white supremacists. 

Every woman wants a piece of Scott. Callisto wanted a piece, Dazzler wanted a piece, The Phoenix is staying in Jean’s body because she wants a piece. “Dark pleasure of destruction” Fancy words for saying you want to peg that man. 

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER. GET A JOB. STOP FUCKING TOUCHING HER YOU CREEP. I scream. They do not listen. But hahahaha Scott’s beautiful eyes broke her out of the creep’s rape fantasy. 

DAZZLER YOU PIECE. I know it’s hard to resist Scott’s charms but you do NOT spring a kiss on a man. Literally this whole thing is caused by people not respecting consent. The only reason Scott and Jean’s psychic rapport was broken was because Dazzler couldn’t fucking keep her hands to herself. And it's SOOO forced bc he could have just sent Gambit to play bodyguard.

These guys are fucking governing Genosha in ’97. Whose bright idea was it to put the Rape Syndicate in charge of a sovereign nation?

“I know what you’re thinking, bub. Question is: “Can I get Wolverine before he turns me into shish kabob with his claws?” Well bub, seeing as these claws are adamantium: the strongest metal known and can slice through vanadium steel like hot butter, you gotta ask yourself: “Do I feel lucky?””

“Lousy year.” *drops wine bottle on man’s dick*

I just love unhinged Wolverine quotes.

“I need no help from a woman to destroy the X-Men.” What a surprise. The head creep is a misogynist. Question: if Shaw can absorb any energy, can he absorb the energy of me ripping his spinal cord from his back? Asking for a friend.

Just when I think it’s over this damn saga still won’t end. Lilandra I thought I was done with you, woman. You come back into my life to fridge Jean Grey a second time, you piece. 

Scott/Jean has captured my mind and soul. They’re perfect. I love them so much. 

Episode 18: Orphan’s End

What an on-the-nose title for an episode where Cyclops learns his father is alive. Oh by the way that was mentioned before, his father is a space pirate. 

Cyclops mockingly calling Corsair “dad” fuels me. Let him tear his father a new one. 

Corsair says that if he’d known his children were alive nothing could have stopped him from coming back. Girly you never even looked, deadbeat. Just assumed your sons were dead for convenience, motherfucker. 

Episode 19: Love in Vain

We need a codeword for when Rogue gets dragged into some bullshit by toxic people from her past. Girl has had too much. Cody gave me bad vibes from the beginning. 

The fact that they defeat the Brood by talking to their sentient fish space ship? Two for two on sentient ships saving the day this season.  

Logan trying to comfort Rogue but her gravitating toward Gambit, the one whose affections she spurned going after the one that got away… I just got a lotta feelings, okay?

Season 1

Season 2

[nixcraft]

Do you need to keep track of the network traffic (bandwidth) usage for the Network interface controller (NIC) of your Debian Linux-based cloud or bare metal server? Look no forward. Try the vnStat, a free and open-source console-based network traffic monitor that keeps a log of 5-minute intervals, hourly, daily, monthly, and yearly network traffic for the selected interface. Once installed, vnStat can be used even without root permissions on most systems.

[eightglass]

Omg idk if you intended this but I am sooo using this as an excuse to infodump about Ethernet and networking lmao.

Firstly, Ethernet is fucking insane how much you can fuck with it and it just works. For the UUV I am working on we cut off the head, separated the wires, the soldered on halves of DuPont cables to the individual strands, plugged them into DuPont wires soldered to a female rj45 breakout board, and it fucking worked. Like really well. I hate how well it works because it looks like an abomination

Like FYM this transmits internet?????

Anyways on the other side of things, I recently discovered “Ethernet 2: electric boogaloo.” Basically I noticed my Ethernet was the bottleneck in my connection to my server, and some brief looking on eBay later, turns out you can get 10gigabit NICs (network interface card, I think) for about $10 a piece. (For reference most computers/your router do 1 gig or 2.5 gig at most). So I picked up a few of those and some SFP cable, which is like if Ethernet cable went on fucking steroids. I specifically got SFP+ to QSFP, which I think can do 40gigabit, so I’ll proly upgrade the card in my pc later down the line, for now 10gigabit is faster than the 6gigabit I can access the files over SATA lol. Anyways it’s super cool, the cable was like $15 for 5m, and is hella nice, and wayyy better and cheaper than an Ethernet(rj45) cable that can do similar specs.

Hope you enjoyed this infodump :3

HHDHDHSHDHFWHAT IS THAT LMAOOOOO

i love that sometimes technology is standardised enough that you can just do shit and it'll work.. like come on that's ridiculous, but it's awesome!!

yeah i don't know shit about networking 😭😭

but thank you!! i thoroughly enjoyed your infodump you're fantastic and amazing 🫶🫶🫶

A3 Ultra VMs With NVIDIA H200 GPUs Pre-launch This Month

Strong infrastructure advancements for your future that prioritizes AI

To increase customer performance, usability, and cost-effectiveness, Google Cloud implemented improvements throughout the AI Hypercomputer stack this year. Google Cloud at the App Dev & Infrastructure Summit:

Trillium, Google’s sixth-generation TPU, is currently available for preview.

Next month, A3 Ultra VMs with NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs will be available for preview.

Google’s new, highly scalable clustering system, Hypercompute Cluster, will be accessible beginning with A3 Ultra VMs.

Based on Axion, Google’s proprietary Arm processors, C4A virtual machines (VMs) are now widely accessible

AI workload-focused additions to Titanium, Google Cloud’s host offload capability, and Jupiter, its data center network.

Google Cloud’s AI/ML-focused block storage service, Hyperdisk ML, is widely accessible.

Trillium A new era of TPU performance

Trillium A new era of TPU performance is being ushered in by TPUs, which power Google’s most sophisticated models like Gemini, well-known Google services like Maps, Photos, and Search, as well as scientific innovations like AlphaFold 2, which was just awarded a Nobel Prize! We are happy to inform that Google Cloud users can now preview Trillium, our sixth-generation TPU.

Taking advantage of NVIDIA Accelerated Computing to broaden perspectives

By fusing the best of Google Cloud’s data center, infrastructure, and software skills with the NVIDIA AI platform which is exemplified by A3 and A3 Mega VMs powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs it also keeps investing in its partnership and capabilities with NVIDIA.

Google Cloud announced that the new A3 Ultra VMs featuring NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs will be available on Google Cloud starting next month.

Compared to earlier versions, A3 Ultra VMs offer a notable performance improvement. Their foundation is NVIDIA ConnectX-7 network interface cards (NICs) and servers equipped with new Titanium ML network adapter, which is tailored to provide a safe, high-performance cloud experience for AI workloads. A3 Ultra VMs provide non-blocking 3.2 Tbps of GPU-to-GPU traffic using RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) when paired with our datacenter-wide 4-way rail-aligned network.

In contrast to A3 Mega, A3 Ultra provides:

With the support of Google’s Jupiter data center network and Google Cloud’s Titanium ML network adapter, double the GPU-to-GPU networking bandwidth

With almost twice the memory capacity and 1.4 times the memory bandwidth, LLM inferencing performance can increase by up to 2 times.

Capacity to expand to tens of thousands of GPUs in a dense cluster with performance optimization for heavy workloads in HPC and AI.

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), which offers an open, portable, extensible, and highly scalable platform for large-scale training and AI workloads, will also offer A3 Ultra VMs.

Hypercompute Cluster: Simplify and expand clusters of AI accelerators

It’s not just about individual accelerators or virtual machines, though; when dealing with AI and HPC workloads, you have to deploy, maintain, and optimize a huge number of AI accelerators along with the networking and storage that go along with them. This may be difficult and time-consuming. For this reason, Google Cloud is introducing Hypercompute Cluster, which simplifies the provisioning of workloads and infrastructure as well as the continuous operations of AI supercomputers with tens of thousands of accelerators.

Fundamentally, Hypercompute Cluster integrates the most advanced AI infrastructure technologies from Google Cloud, enabling you to install and operate several accelerators as a single, seamless unit. You can run your most demanding AI and HPC workloads with confidence thanks to Hypercompute Cluster’s exceptional performance and resilience, which includes features like targeted workload placement, dense resource co-location with ultra-low latency networking, and sophisticated maintenance controls to reduce workload disruptions.

For dependable and repeatable deployments, you can use pre-configured and validated templates to build up a Hypercompute Cluster with just one API call. This include containerized software with orchestration (e.g., GKE, Slurm), framework and reference implementations (e.g., JAX, PyTorch, MaxText), and well-known open models like Gemma2 and Llama3. As part of the AI Hypercomputer architecture, each pre-configured template is available and has been verified for effectiveness and performance, allowing you to concentrate on business innovation.

A3 Ultra VMs will be the first Hypercompute Cluster to be made available next month.

An early look at the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72

Google Cloud is also awaiting the developments made possible by NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPUs, and we’ll be providing more information about this fascinating improvement soon. Here is a preview of the racks Google constructing in the meantime to deliver the NVIDIA Blackwell platform’s performance advantages to Google Cloud’s cutting-edge, environmentally friendly data centers in the early months of next year.

Redefining CPU efficiency and performance with Google Axion Processors

CPUs are a cost-effective solution for a variety of general-purpose workloads, and they are frequently utilized in combination with AI workloads to produce complicated applications, even if TPUs and GPUs are superior at specialized jobs. Google Axion Processors, its first specially made Arm-based CPUs for the data center, at Google Cloud Next ’24. Customers using Google Cloud may now benefit from C4A virtual machines, the first Axion-based VM series, which offer up to 10% better price-performance compared to the newest Arm-based instances offered by other top cloud providers.

Additionally, compared to comparable current-generation x86-based instances, C4A offers up to 60% more energy efficiency and up to 65% better price performance for general-purpose workloads such as media processing, AI inferencing applications, web and app servers, containerized microservices, open-source databases, in-memory caches, and data analytics engines.

Titanium and Jupiter Network: Making AI possible at the speed of light

Titanium, the offload technology system that supports Google’s infrastructure, has been improved to accommodate workloads related to artificial intelligence. Titanium provides greater compute and memory resources for your applications by lowering the host’s processing overhead through a combination of on-host and off-host offloads. Furthermore, although Titanium’s fundamental features can be applied to AI infrastructure, the accelerator-to-accelerator performance needs of AI workloads are distinct.

Google has released a new Titanium ML network adapter to address these demands, which incorporates and expands upon NVIDIA ConnectX-7 NICs to provide further support for virtualization, traffic encryption, and VPCs. The system offers best-in-class security and infrastructure management along with non-blocking 3.2 Tbps of GPU-to-GPU traffic across RoCE when combined with its data center’s 4-way rail-aligned network.

Google’s Jupiter optical circuit switching network fabric and its updated data center network significantly expand Titanium’s capabilities. With native 400 Gb/s link rates and a total bisection bandwidth of 13.1 Pb/s (a practical bandwidth metric that reflects how one half of the network can connect to the other), Jupiter could handle a video conversation for every person on Earth at the same time. In order to meet the increasing demands of AI computation, this enormous scale is essential.

Hyperdisk ML is widely accessible

For computing resources to continue to be effectively utilized, system-level performance maximized, and economical, high-performance storage is essential. Google launched its AI-powered block storage solution, Hyperdisk ML, in April 2024. Now widely accessible, it adds dedicated storage for AI and HPC workloads to the networking and computing advancements.

Hyperdisk ML efficiently speeds up data load times. It drives up to 11.9x faster model load time for inference workloads and up to 4.3x quicker training time for training workloads.

With 1.2 TB/s of aggregate throughput per volume, you may attach 2500 instances to the same volume. This is more than 100 times more than what big block storage competitors are giving.

Reduced accelerator idle time and increased cost efficiency are the results of shorter data load times.

Multi-zone volumes are now automatically created for your data by GKE. In addition to quicker model loading with Hyperdisk ML, this enables you to run across zones for more computing flexibility (such as lowering Spot preemption).

Developing AI’s future

Google Cloud enables companies and researchers to push the limits of AI innovation with these developments in AI infrastructure. It anticipates that this strong foundation will give rise to revolutionary new AI applications.

nic cage gives an incredible performance as longlegs in longlegs, but unfortunately his longlegs couldn't stride through the movie's lackluster twist.

I get from a narrative perspective how the twist with the mother works with the foreshadowing and Lee's backstory but it doesn't interface the world despite taking place in ~1997 (Clinton president, Mariners are good at baseball, landlines, etc.). like, it's ignoring crucial context, which makes the twist of "everything being caused by Satan" pretty boring and uninspired.

all the incidents that they investigate in the movie are murder suicides by the father, and when I think about that framing, the first thing that comes to mind is, "these incidents usually happen when the spouse is trying to escape an abusive relationship with the husband, who usually maintains power over the spouse and children via finances and housing." And I do think that Satanic cults in the PNW could have fit into this in an interesting way, layering the nuclear family and religious obedience to create this sinister force, but they kind of just leave it at, "satan is evil and he makes ppl do evil things." No subversion of the idyllic nuclear family, if anything it's propping up the nuclear family as a pure, heavenly social group.

So these murder suicides are very much manmade issues, very much stemming from contradictions between patriarchy and a liberal democratic, i.e., capitalist, context. Maybe it's sometimes related to people going psycho, but it's not a niche joke when people clown on news articles with headlines of, "man kills wife and three kids," with a photo of that same white guy on a jet ski with his family. people acknowledge that race and gender and class all factor into these incidents and how they're portrayed. So hand waving it all as Satan and his custom anabel dolls or w/e is just idk so boring and less sinister compared to reality.

Is Longlegs scary? Is it aesthetically tight? Yes and yes. Probably for the costuming and sets and acting, I would recommend people see it. But the twist really took the wind out of its sails and left a lot to be desired. So far social media is like 0/3 in hyping up movies to watch.

a) Both portals will operate on a real-time synchronised architecture wherein E-Way Bill data will be mirrored across both systems within seconds

b) In the event of a technical issue or downtime on the E-Way Bill 1.0 portal, taxpayers may perform all necessary operations (e.g., updating Part-B) on the E-Way Bill 2.0 portal and carry the E-Way Bill slip generated therefrom.

c) This dual-system approach is designed to eliminate dependency on a single portal and ensure business continuity. 4. Availability via API

All the above services will also be made available to taxpayers and logistics operators through APIs, in addition to the web portal interface. These APIs are currently hosted on the sandbox environment for testing and integration purposes.

5. Key Benefits

Eventually, the data from both E-Way Bill1 and E-Way Bill2 portals shall be seamlessly merged and integrated, thereby eliminating dependency on the E-Way Bill1 system during exigencies. The E-Way Bill2 portal is designed to synchronise E-Way Bill details with the main portal within a few seconds.

Criss-cross operations between the two portals are fully enabled — updates made to E-Way Bills generated on the E-Way Bill1 portal can be carried out on the E-Way Bill2 portal, and vice versa. In the event of non-availability of the main portal due to technical reasons, Part-B details of E-Way Bills generated on the E-Way Bill1 portal can be updated through the E-Way Bill2 portal, and both versions of the E-Way Bill slip may be carried accordingly.

Taxpayers and logistics operators are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the new functionalities and integrate API services where applicable.

For any assistance or further clarifications, users may contact the GST Helpdesk or refer to the user manuals provided on the respective portals.

Introducing Gen 2 AWS Outpost Racks with Improved Speed

Outpost Racks

Amazon's latest edge computing innovation, second-generation Outpost racks, are now available. This new version supports the latest x86-powered Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and features faster networking instances for ultra-low latency and high throughput applications and simpler network scalability and deployment. These enhancements boost on-premises workloads including telecom 5G Core and financial services core trading platforms.

For on-premises workloads. The second-generation at outpost racks process data locally and has low latency for multiplayer online gaming servers, consumer transaction data, medical records, industrial and manufacturing control systems, telecom BSS, edge inference of diverse applications, and machine learning (ML) models. Customers may now choose from the latest processor generation and Outposts rack configurations with faster processing, more memory, and more network bandwidth.

The latest EC2 instances

In AWS racks are compute-optimized C7i, general-purpose M7i, and memory-optimized R7i x86 instances. Older Outpost Rack C5, M5, and R5 instances had 40% less performance and double vCPU, RAM, and Internet bandwidth. Larger databases, real-time analytics, memory-intensive apps, on-premises workloads, CPU-based edge inference with complicated machine learning models. benefit tremendously from 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs. Newer EC2 instances, including GPU-enabled ones, will be supported.

Easy network scalability and configuration

Amazon has overhauled networking for its latest Outposts generation, making it easier and more scalable. This update centres on its new Outposts network rack, which centralises compute and storage traffic.

The new design has three key benefits. First, you may now grow compute capacity separately from networking infrastructure as workloads rise, increasing flexibility and lowering costs. Second, it started with network resiliency to keep your systems running smoothly. Network racks handle device failures automatically. Third, connecting to on-premises and AWS Regions is simple. You may configure IP addresses, VLANs, and BGP using a revamped console interface or simple APIs.

Amazon EC2 instances with faster networking

Enhanced Amazon EC2 instances with faster networking are being launched on Outpost racks. These instances are designed for mission-critical on-premises throughput, computation, and latency. A supplemental physical network with network accelerator cards attached to top-of-rack (TOR) switches is added to the Outpost logical network for best performance.

Bmn-sf2e instances, designed for ultra-low latency and predictable performance, are the first. The new instances use Intel's latest Sapphire Rapids processors (4th Gen Xeon Scalable) and 8GB of RAM per CPU core to sustain 3.9 GHz across all cores. Bmn-sf2e instances feature AMD Solarflare X2522 network cards that link to top-of-rack switches.

These examples provide deterministic networking for financial services customers, notably capital market companies, employing equal cable lengths, native Layer 2 (L2) multicast, and precision time protocol. Customers may simply connect to their trading infrastructure to meet fair trading and equitable access regulations.

The second instance type, Bmn-cx2, has low latency and high throughput. This example's NVIDIA ConnectX-7 400G NICs are physically coupled to fast top-of-rack switches, giving 800 Gbps bare metal network bandwidth at near line rate. This instance supports hardware PTP and native Layer 2 (L2) multicast, making it ideal for high-throughput workloads including risk analytics, real-time market data dissemination, and telecom 5G core network applications.

Overall, the next Outpost racks generation improves performance, scalability, and resilience for on-premises applications, particularly mission-critical workloads with rigorous throughput and latency constraints. AWS Management Console lets you pick and buy. The new instances preserve regional deployment consistency by supporting the same APIs, AWS Management Console, automation, governance policies, and security controls on-premises and in the cloud. improving IT and developer productivity.

Know something

Second-generation Outpost racks may be parented to six AWS regions: Asia Pacific (Singapore), US West (Oregon), US East (N. Virginia, and Ohio), and EU West (London, France).Support for more nations, territories, and AWS regions is coming. At launch, second-generation Outpost racks support several AWS services from first-generation racks. Support for more AWS services and EC2 instance types is coming.

What Are The 4 Most Important Parts Of A Wireless Network?

The four most important parts of a wireless network are the core components that make wireless communication possible, whether in a home, office, or enterprise setting. Here's a simple breakdown:

1. Access Point (AP) / Wireless Router

What it does: Acts as the central hub that broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal and connects wireless devices to the wired network or internet.

Why it's important: It defines the range, speed, and reliability of the wireless network.

📡 Think of it as the gateway that connects your devices to the world.

2. Wireless Clients (Devices)

What it includes: Laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, printers — any device with a wireless network interface card (NIC).

Why it's important: These are the endpoints that consume and exchange data across the wireless network.

💻 No network is useful without the devices that connect to it.

3. Wireless Network Interface Card (NIC)

What it does: This is the hardware inside a device that allows it to connect to Wi-Fi.

Why it's important: Determines the speed and capability of a device's connection (e.g., Wi-Fi 5, 6, or 6E).

⚙️ A modern NIC ensures better speed, range, and power efficiency.

4. Wireless Network Controller / Switch (Enterprise-level)

What it does: In business networks, a wireless controller manages multiple access points, traffic, and security policies.

Why it's important: Helps with centralized management, seamless roaming, and scalability.

🧠 The "brain" of larger wireless networks — keeps everything smooth and secure.

Bonus: 🔒 Security Protocols (WPA3/WPA2)

While not a physical "part," strong encryption and authentication mechanisms are critical to protect data and devices from unauthorized access.

Want help setting up or troubleshooting your wireless network? Or need guidance choosing gear (like mesh Wi-Fi or enterprise APs)? Just let me know!
