The Evolution of Networking: Paving the Road for AI, GenAI, and AGI
As we leap into a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI), and look toward the promise of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), networking—the vital force connecting devices, clouds, and people—is rapidly transforming to meet and shape these revolutions. From Cables to Cloud: Networking’s Expanding Journey Ethernet: The Wired Workhorse Milestones & Evolution: Created in the 1970s, Ethernet began with 10 Mbps LANs, blossomed to Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps, 1995), Gigabit (1 Gbps, 1998), and now supports jaw-dropping 400 Gbps—with 800 Gbps and 1.6 Tbps on the horizon. Advances bring not only speed but also smarter traffic management, redundancy, and microsecond-level latencies for real-time AI. ...
