Preface

Purpose

This document describes the best practices for deploying the AI Fabric intelligent and lossless data center network solution (referred to as AI Fabric solution), helping network engineers understand how to use the functions provided by the AI Fabric solution to implement zero packet loss, low latency, and high throughput on data center networks.

This document covers the best practices of the AI Fabric solution in the following aspects:

• Recommended networking in different application scenarios
• Suggestions on function configuration in different application scenarios
• Typical configuration examples in different application scenarios
• Visualized O&M deployment suggestions and cases

This document is written according to device information obtained under lab conditions and therefore may not cover all scenarios. Due to version upgrade or device model difference, the content provided in the document may differ from information on a device's command line interface (CLI). Such information takes precedence over the content provided by this document.

Intended Audience

This document is intended for project planning, design, deployment, and implementation personnel. They are expected to:

• Be familiar with Huawei data center network CloudEngine series switches.
• Understand the basic principles of intelligent and lossless networks. For details, see the product documentation of CloudEngine series switches.
