In this video, Alok Pandey, Product Line Manager at Juniper Networks, introduces a new technology, "Adaptive Load Balancing" (ALB) for ECMP Next Hops. ALB for ECMP is designed to optimize traffic flows distribution in AI/ML infrastructures, based on Juniper PTX routers and Express ASICs.ALB dynamically adjusts data flow routing, preventing link overload and maximizing efficiency. Express ASICs provide built-in intelligence for real-time traffic analysis and adjustment, ensuring smooth data flow even under demanding workloads.
How ALB Works:
– Traffic analysis: Identifies flows and measures bandwidth usage.-
Dynamic adjustment: Distributes traffic to prevent overload.
ALB acts as a smart traffic management system, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth data flow for AI/ML workloads.
This feature is introduced with Junos 24.4R1 and a techpost article will be published later, detailing the technology.
