The bottleneck in AI isn't compute anymore, it's the network. In this video, I sit down with Martin, the architect behind Cisco’s Silicon One, to discuss the massive leap to 100 Terabits per second. We go deep into the silicon level to understand how "intelligent agents" embedded in the hardware are solving the packet loss problem for massive AI training clusters.

We cover the new 1.6T Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO), why Cisco is becoming the "Apple of Networking" by building their own full stack, and why they believe Ethernet has officially won the data center war.

Topics Covered:
• Cisco Silicon One: The architecture behind the 100Tbps & 51.2Tbps chips.
• AI Scale: How to interconnect 128,000 GPUs without stalling.
• Hardware Agents: Real-time traffic rerouting at the silicon level.
• 1.6Tbps Optics: Moving DSPs out of the module to save power (LPO).
• Ethernet vs. InfiniBand: Why standard Ethernet is winning in AI.

Big thank you to ‪@Cisco‬ for sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam!

Will AI replace network engineers in 2026? In this video, I sit down with Joe Vaccaro (VP/GM of Cisco ThousandEyes) to reveal the truth about "Agentic Ops" and how it differs from traditional AIOps. We dive deep into the new "Digital Teammate" concept within ThousandEyes and demo exactly how AI agents can autonomously troubleshoot complex network outages (like DHCP and DNS failures) in seconds.

Instead of taking your job, Joe explains how these agents act as a force multiplier for your career—handling the tedious "mean time to innocence" tasks so you can focus on architecture. If you are worried about the future of the CLI or manual troubleshooting, you need to see this demo.

Key Topics Covered:
• Cisco Agentic Ops Explained: Joe Vaccaro breaks down the shift to autonomous reasoning.
• ThousandEyes Demo: Watch an AI agent diagnose a DHCP failure and suggest the exact fix (subnet expansion).
• Views Explainability: How to troubleshoot "unknown paths" and ISP outages
(like AWS/Azure) automatically.
• Career Survival Guide: Why Cisco believes AI will train the next generation of CCIE-level engineers, not replace them.
