Cisco’s Martin Lund joins David Bombal to unpack how AI-scale networking really works - and why a 51.2 Tbps, 64×800G, post-quantum–ready router matters. We break down scale-up vs scale-out vs scale-across, deep buffers to prevent drops on long-haul links, line-rate IPsec/MACsec, SONiC vs IOS XR, P4 programmability, coherent optics for ~1000 km DCI, and how these pieces enable exabit-class fabrics for AI clusters.
What you’ll learn
• Why GPUs are useless without massive, reliable interconnects
• 51.2 Tbps with 64×800G ports and what that enables for AI training
• Deep buffers vs shallow buffers and when each wins
• Line-rate encryption today and post-quantum readiness tomorrow
• SONiC on Cisco Silicon One, P4, and automation at hyperscale

Apple says iPhone is extremely hard to hack. OTW says he keeps finding real malware on normal people's iPhones. We talk Pegasus spyware, the Meta vs NSO lawsuit over WhatsApp, Apple's new memory integrity protections, and why a $5M bug bounty still won't stop well-funded spyware. We also get into how one infected phone can take over your entire WiFi and smart home, why your router and VPN box are the weakest link, and what “everything is hackable” really means for you.

#522: Does Traditional Encryption End in 2027?

Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Partner Summit San Diego 2025. 
 
This video is a deep dive with Jeetu Patel on why the real AI revolution is happening in infrastructure and networking, not just in GPUs or chatbots.
Jeetu explains that we are massively underestimating how much AI infrastructure the world will need. Power becomes the core constraint, GPUs are the core asset, and networking is the force multiplier that lets thousands of GPUs act as one system. He walks through how we went from models on a single GPU → 4–8 GPUs in a server → racks with hundreds of GPUs (like NVL-72 with 500+ GPUs) → clusters of racks, and now “scale across” between data centers when power and real estate are scattered across different regions.

The conversation then shifts to edge AI and Cisco Unified Edge: instead of doing all token generation in big data centers, some inference and token generation must move to the edge (branches, factories, hospitals, stadiums, stores) where data is created. Jeetu explains why edge devices need to be plug-and-play, remotely managed, and integrate compute, networking, security and observability in a single platform.

He also introduces the idea that AI is now constrained by three big bottlenecks:
• Infrastructure
• A trust deficit (people don’t trust AI yet)
• A data gap (models are mostly trained on human internet data, not on rich
machine data)

Jeetu explains how security becomes a prerequisite for productivity, not a trade-off, and describes Cisco’s work with Splunk, open-sourced time-series models, and machine data (logs, metrics, traces) to close the data gap by correlating machine data with human-generated data for better insights.
Globally, he talks about the “token generation race” – how every country now cares about having enough AI token generation capacity because it directly links to GDP and national security. He cites huge infrastructure build-outs with partners like G42 in the Middle East, at gigawatt and trillions-of-dollars scale.

Finally, Jeetu tackles the “AI will take my job” fear. He outlines three stages of
thinking:
1. “AI will take my job.”
2. “Someone who uses AI better will take my job.”
3. “Without AI, I won’t be able to do my job.”

His message to younger viewers: be excited, adopt AI as a companion, own your learning, and learn fast because AI compresses the time it takes to build skills.

#526: Stop Building AI Chatbots (Do This Instead)

How do you connect CML to a physical network? Well, here I show you how to use both bridged and NAT modes to connect your CML networks to a WiFi network. 

Cisco CML-P (VIRL 2) is here: Learn how to download, install and configure Cisco CML-P (VIRL 2) in my series of videos. The new version of Cisco VIRL allows you to create virtual Cisco networks using just your Web browser. You don't have to use a thick client or any other software - everything is included and everything is easy to use.

The new version of Cisco VIRL 2 is one of your best options for CCNA,  CCNP and CCIE Labs. VIRL 2 has multiple advantages over other platforms such as GNS3 or EVE-NG. VIRL 2 supports an HTML5 web client and contains all the Cisco IOS images. You don't have to use a thick client like you do with GNS3. You don't have to follow a convoluted process to get Cisco images working like you do with EVE-NG. 

You don't have to try to find images as they are all included as part of your VIRL subscription and by simply mapping an ISO drive to your virtual machine you can immediately start using all Cisco IOS images in your topologies. 

VIRL2 is also an official Cisco product - that means that you don't have to worry about any legal issues with regards to running Cisco IOS images on your laptop. This is an official Cisco product that is supported by Cisco. By paying your yearly subscription fee of $199, you can use Cisco IOS images such as IOSv, IOSvL2, ASAv, NX-OSv and others without any worries. VIRL 2 has everything you need to get started.

Cisco have made massive changes to their certification programs and it is fantastic to see the new version of VIRL in action.
