[SPEAKER_A] Hi, Take a Network Break! I'm John Burke.

[SPEAKER_B] And I'm Tom Hollingsworth.

[SPEAKER_A] And we've got a stack of fresh hot news pancakes, so grab your maple syrup and let's dive in. We're talking about Arista's foray into the 1.6Tbps space, Nokia's Deepfield, Amazon's Graviton 5 launch, Oracle's Capital Challenges, OpenCosmos's difficulty launching its satellite broadband network, and more.

[SPEAKER_A] Before we dive into the news, some follow-up.

[SPEAKER_B] One of our listeners pointed out that on the June 8th episode of The Network Break, Cisco's Live Protect product was discussed. I believe the reason Live Protect was highlighted during Cisco Live this year is because Cisco is expanding its availability outside of the Nexus product line. Cisco announced that Live Protect will also be available for the Catalyst line of products in the coming months. And the listener thanks us for the excellent show. They supplied a link to a Cisco blog entry, which you can find in the show notes. And I will also call out that we did a session at Tech Field Day Extra at Cisco Live where we talked about Cisco Live Protect, and it was kind of interesting to see how they're positioning it in the modern market. So make sure you check that out too.

[SPEAKER_A] Excellent advice. We also got follow-up from listener Kush Patel, not FBI Director Kash Patel. He said, for the Network Break episode this week, here is a great video from Amazon itself regarding the random graph theory and how they used it to reduce their network equipment count. The neat part is that you get to see the box that is creating random fiber connections. Seems it is a custom enclosure with light switching tech behind the scenes. "Great episode as always, and keep up the good work." He went on, "I just told my son in the car, 'You know what the 578 on this episode means?' And he said, 'What?' And I said, 'That's an episode per week, and that's how long I've been listening.' He did the math quick and said, 'Dad, that's over 11 years and counting.' Proud dad, and so great of you all to keep doing what you do. So thank you." And K...
