Engineering at Meta

NOVEMBER 21, 2022

Meta is deploying a timing protocol, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) , that will offer new levels of accuracy and precision to our networks and data centers. We believe PTP will become the global standard for keeping time in computer networks. Essentially, one machine holds time for the other machines on the network.

According to a recent Uptime Institute report , network failures trail only power outages as a cause of downtime. In fact, reliability is often used as justification for the high price of MPLS bandwidth. The disruption was caused by a single faulty network card. that provide them the best mix of cost, resilience, and redundancy.

For example, Network World called 2018 the year of SD-WAN , and before the end of Q3 2018 Gartner declared SD-WAN is killing MPLS. Reduced WAN Costs MPLS bandwidth is expensive. On a dollar per bit basis, MPLS is significantly higher than public Internet bandwidth. The specifics of your network will be the real driver here.

Fiber optics The submarine cables that move internet traffic around the world are made from silica glass fiber optic strands that most network engineers are likely familiar with. The CLS is where the cable connects to land-based power and various networking provider infrastructure. 654 subset of fiber is used for undersea applications.
