(Edit: for more concrete details, the Arxiv paper linked from the blog post is here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.15261 and the amazon.science link has some higher level view of the details https://www.amazon.science/blog/how-flat-is-replacing-fat-in... ) &gt; The results were striking: compared to traditional fat-tree networks, RNG (Resilient Network Graphs) uses 69% fewer routers, delivers 33% higher throughput, cuts network power by 40%, and lowers operating costs by 27. In early 2026, RNG became the default design for most newly built…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2604.15261/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
