DriveNets to Join AT&T, KDDI and Broadcom on FYUZ 26 Panel: "From Backbone Networks to AI Fabrics"
Panel will discuss how scheduled-fabric architecture supports lossless Ethernet, ensuring no GPU remains idle waiting on the network
RA'ANANA, Israel, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DriveNets, a leader in large-scale networking, today announced its participation in FYUZ 26, the Telecom Infra Project (TIP) flagship event, taking place November 3-5, 2026, at The Westin Seattle.
Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, will join the panel "From Backbone Networks to AI Fabrics: The Disaggregation Playbook" on Day 1, November 3, 2:20PM-3:15PM, as part of session B2. The panel brings together operators and suppliers to assess where disaggregated routing is mature, and how the same architecture can serve AI back-end fabrics.
Panelists:
- Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing, DriveNets
- Rehan Karim, Director, Network Infrastructure & Services, AT&T
- Kenji Kumaki, Chief Architect, KDDI
- Hasan Siraj, VP Product Management, Broadcom
The panel will cover production lessons from Disaggregated Distributed Backbone Router (DDBR) deployments, procurement and operating models, and how scheduled-fabric architecture enables lossless Ethernet for AI. It will also look at how scheduled-fabric can maximize the performance of open AI clusters based on a variety of GPUs, and long-reach multi-site clusters with scale-across AI interconnect deployments.
Together, these panelists have significant experience leveraging DDBR deployments. AT&T has deployed DriveNets Network Cloud in its IP-MPLS core backbone. KDDI has run DriveNets software in its peering routers since June 2023, and in May 2025 signed a strategic agreement to deploy it in backbone core routers at four locations.
DriveNets will also be presenting at the FYUZ exhibition throughout the week and will feature in a session titled "The Service Provider AI opportunity" on Wednesday, November 4th, 2PM.
