Andy Bechtolsheim, Founder, Chief Development Officer and Chairman at Arista, reviews how Arista is preparing for the 400 Gigabit future. While 100G Ethernet is gaining ascendency now, by 2021 he sees the 400G port numbers reaching parity with 100G Ethernet. The optics for this will be powered by 100G per lane, as defined by the 100G Lambda MSA consortium. He further reviews how this standard will allow for more seamless transition to 400G than the standards proposed by the IEEE.
