ABOUT EVENT

Thank you for coming to Networking @Scale! Videos will be posted in this space soon.

Networking @Scale is an invitation-only technical conference for engineers working on all facets of large-scale networks. Networking solutions are critical for building applications and services that serve millions, and sometimes billions, of people around the world. At this scale, there are always complex engineering challenges to solve. As with our 2016 and 2017 Networking @Scale events, this year’s conference featured technical speakers from leading network operators. The one-day event covered the latest in network engineering, network services, security, and innovations in networking hardware.
