Figure 6-14 depicts a demonstrative event where Rank 4 receives seven simultaneous flows (1). As these flows are processed by their respective PDCs and handed over to the Semantic Sublayer (2), the High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) Controller becomes congested. Because HBM must arbitrate multiple fi_write RMA operations requiring concurrent memory bank access and state updates, the incoming packet rate quickly exceeds HBM’s transactional retirement rate.
This causes internal buffers at the memory interface to fill, creating a local congestion event (3). To prevent buffer overflow, which would lead to dropped packets and expensive RMA retries, the receiver utilizes NSCC to move the queuing "pain" back to the source. This is achieved by using pds.rcv_cwnd_pend parameter of the ACK_CC header (4). The parameter operates on a scale of 0 to 127; while zero is ignored, a value of 127 triggers the maximum possible rate decrement. In this scenario, a value of 64 is utilized, resulting in a 50% penalty relative to the newly acknowledged data.
Rather than directly computing a new transport rate, the mechanism utilizes a three-phase process to define a restricted Congestion Window (CWND). This reduction in CWND inherently forces the source to drain its inflight bucket to Continue reading

Today, we are excited to share a refresh of the Tigera and Calico visual identity!
This update better reflects who we are, who we serve, and where we are headed next.
If you have been part of the Calico community for a while, you know that change at Tigera is always driven by substance, not style alone. Since the early days of Project Calico, our focus has always been clear: Build powerful, scalable networking and security for Kubernetes, and do it in the open with the community.
Tigera was founded by the original Project Calico engineering team and remains deeply committed to maintaining Calico Open Source as the leading standard for container networking and network security.
“Tigera’s story began in 2016 with Project Calico, an open-source container networking and security project. Calico Open Source has since become the most widely adopted solution for containers and Kubernetes. We remain committed to maintaining Calico Open Source as the leading standard, while also delivering advanced capabilities through our commercial editions.”
—Ratan Tipirneni, President & CEO, Tigera
This refresh is an evolution, not a reinvention. You Continue reading
Earlier this week, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) opened its consultation on a package of proposed conduct requirements for Google. The consultation invites comments on the proposed requirements before the CMA imposes any final measures. These new rules aim to address the lack of choice and transparency that publishers (broadly defined as “any party that makes content available on the web”) face over how Google uses search to fuel its generative AI services and features. These are the first consultations on conduct requirements launched under the digital markets competition regime in the UK.
We welcome the CMA’s recognition that publishers need a fairer deal and believe the proposed rules are a step into the right direction. Publishers should be entitled to have access to tools that enable them to control the inclusion of their content in generative AI services, and AI companies should have a level playing field on which to compete.
But we believe the CMA has not gone far enough and should do more to safeguard the UK’s creative sector and foster healthy competition in the market for generative and agentic AI.
In January Continue reading

Today, we’re introducing a new Worker template for Vertical Microfrontends (VMFE). This template allows you to map multiple independent Cloudflare Workers to a single domain, enabling teams to work in complete silos — shipping marketing, docs, and dashboards independently — while presenting a single, seamless application to the user.
Most microfrontend architectures are "horizontal", meaning different parts of a single page are fetched from different services. Vertical microfrontends take a different approach by splitting the application by URL path. In this model, a team owning the `/blog` path doesn't just own a component; they own the entire vertical stack for that route – framework, library choice, CI/CD and more. Owning the entire stack of a path, or set of paths, allows teams to have true ownership of their work and ship with confidence.
Teams face problems as they grow, where different frameworks serve varying use cases. A marketing website could be better utilized with Astro, for example, while a dashboard might be better with React. Or say you have a monolithic code base where many teams ship as a collective. An update to add new features from several teams can get frustratingly rolled back because Continue reading

Everyone is jumpy about how much capital expenses Microsoft has on the books in 2025 and what it expects to spend on datacenters and their hardware in 2026. …
Microsoft Is More Dependent On OpenAI Than The Converse was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
Figure 6-12 depicts the ACK_CC header structure and fields. When NSCC is enabled in the UET node, the PDS must use the pds.type ACK_CC in the prologue header, which serves as the common header structure for all PDS messages. Within the actual PDS ACK_CC header, the pds.cc_type must be set to CC_NSCC. The pds.ack_cc_state field describes the values and states for service_time, rc (restore congestion CWND), rcv_cwnd_pend, and received_bytes. The source specifically utilizes the received_bytes parameter to calculate the updated state for inflight packets.
The CCC computes the reduction in the inflight state by subtracting the rcvd_bytes value received in previous ACK_CC messages from the rcvd_bytes value carried within the latest ACK_CC message. As illustrated in Figure 6-12, the inflight state is decreased by 4,096 bytes, which is the delta between 16,384 and 12,288 bytes.
Recap: In order to transport data to network, the Inflight bytes must be less than CWND size.
The Internet woke up this week to a flood of people buying Mac minis to run Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot), an open-source, self-hosted AI agent designed to act as a personal assistant. Moltbot runs in the background on a user's own hardware, has a sizable and growing list of integrations for chat applications, AI models, and other popular tools, and can be controlled remotely. Moltbot can help you with your finances, social media, organize your day — all through your favorite messaging app.
But what if you don’t want to buy new dedicated hardware? And what if you could still run your Moltbot efficiently and securely online? Meet Moltworker, a middleware Worker and adapted scripts that allows running Moltbot on Cloudflare's Sandbox SDK and our Developer Platform APIs.
Firstly, Cloudflare Workers has never been so compatible with Node.js. Where in the past we had to mock APIs to get some packages running, now those APIs are supported natively by the Workers Runtime.
This has changed how we can build tools on Cloudflare Workers. When we first implemented Playwright, a popular framework for web testing and automation that runs Continue reading
