If you are intere= sted in AIDC or network layer multicast, please come to the side meeting to= discuss. If you are remote participant, please access the meeting via the = link: https://ietf.webex.com/meet/sidemeetings2 =20 This side meeting builds on previous side meeting discussions and will dive= deeper into AI-specific multicast use cases and requirements, including Mo= E token dispatch, while conducting preliminary technical analyses of potent= ial solutions such as BIER enhancements and new protocol designs, with emph= asis on reliability, scalability, and quantitative performance evaluation t= o guide future standardization. =20 Please check the initial agenda of the side meeting in the following:=20 0. Welcome & Review Chairs=20 1. Multicast Problem Statement for AIDC ( Junye Zhang, Remote, China Mobil= e) =20 Abstract: Multicast is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency o= f point-to-multipoint data transmission during LLM training and inference i= n AI Data Centers (AIDCs). However, AIDCs demand bidirectional interaction,= lossless reliability, microsecond scale dynamics, sparse groups, and simpl= e control/data planes. This talk will give a brief problem statement of mul= ticast in AIDCs. 2.Can LLMs Reason Structurally? Benchmarking via the lens of Data Structure= s, with possible benefit from Multicast ( Yingxi Li, Remote, Stanford Unive= rsity)=20 Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed on comp= lex tasks that demand multi-step decision-making, evaluating their algorith= mic reasoning capabilities becomes critical. This talk introduces DSR-Bench= , a diagnostic benchmark grounded in data structures, designed to assess st= ructural reasoning=E2=80=94the ability to perceive and manipulate relationa= l patterns such as order, hierarchy, and connectivity, including the benchm= ark design, the evaluation methodology, and key empirical findings. The tal= k concludes with a brief discussion of potential implications for AI data-c= enter networks, raising the question of whether efficient multicast communi= cation could benefit long-context inference, inference-time search, and dis= tributed model execution. 3.In-Network Computing on Switches (IFEC): Remodeling Multicast and Acceler= ating Communication for AI Clusters (Changwang Lin, On-site, Alibaba & H3C= ) Abstract: Describe an innovative collaborative computing paradigm named IFE= C (In Fabric Extended-Computation). Its core objective is to address the wo= rsening cross-xPU communication bottlenecks in large-scale AI training and = inference, driven by rising model parallelism and the widespread adoption o= f architectures such as MoE. 4. Multicast in Scale-Up (Haibo Wang, On-site, Huawei) Abstract: With the rapid development of AI services, optimizing AI cluster = performance has become increasingly important. Notably, some AI service sce= narios may exhibit multicast-like communication patterns (e.g., MOE dispatc= h).Traditional network multicast relies on single-direction forwarding, whi= ch conflicts with key AI service requirements: interactivity, reliability, = dynamics, and sparsity. These mismatches introduce significant challenges i= n scale-out network. Interestingly, when AI services operate within a scale= -up network, these challenges become more manageable. Consequently, we prop= ose first focusing on leveraging multicast to enhance scale-up AI service p= erformance, before extending the solution to broader distributed deployment= s. 5.

Notably, some AI service sc= enarios may exhibit multicast-like communication patterns (e.g., MOE dispat= ch).Traditional network multicast relies on single-direction forwarding, wh= ich conflicts with key AI service requirements: interactivity, reliability,= dynamics, and sparsity. These mismatches introduce significant challenges = in scale-out network. Interestingly, when AI services operate within a scal= e-up network, these challenges become more manageable.
