S1E4: 400G, IPv6, Covid-19, and building a better Internet

In this episode, Mattias Fridström and Jérôme Fleury discuss when the transition to 400G ports will really happen, if we’ll ever see a slowdown of Internet traffic growth, what needs to happen for full IPv6 adoption, how the Internet coped with the traffic surge following the Covid-19 pandemic, and how to build a better Internet.
