A 2026 report by\u00a0Wired<\/a>\u00a0shared that\u00a0Amazon supposedly has a new network architecture will allow the company to use 69% fewer routers and switches and 40% less power at its massive Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers, yet provide 33% better throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n

The core of the breakthrough is called resilient network graphs, or RNG.\u00a0It’s a way to use random cable connections to make a network work more efficiently.\u00a0In it are two key innovations: On the hardware side is a device called a ShuffleBox, which randomizes physical cable connections between network components to make the network structure more efficient. It pairs with software called Spraypoint, a custom traffic-routing algorithm specifically designed to work within the RNG design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
