Cisco Optics Podcast Ep 58. The smartest data center operators use multi-mode fiber - do you? (7/7)

Multi-mode fiber has been the workhorse for fiber optic communication within a data center for years, as well as the choice for Ethernet backbones in office buildings. It has a rich history that goes all the way back to the first optical fiber standards when 100 megabits per second was a huge data rate. Anybody remember those days?
In Episode 58, we conclude our conversation with Hao Dong, market technology development manager for Corning’s optical communications business. We continue with the reach of high speed standards for multi-mode fiber and the impact on data center deployments and then close with chromatic and modal dispersion.

Twitter to X: Charting Performance and Outages

On May 17, X reached a major milestone when the social media platform completed its full migration from twitter.com to x.com. While the number and frequency of outages did increase after the company’s acquisition by Elon Musk, following the domain migration, there don’t appear to have been any significant disruptions to the X.com platform.
In this week’s podcast, The Internet Report team discusses what they observed during (and after) the domain migration, and analyzes X’s performance pre- and post-acquisition.
