Brad Tarno
I design datacenter fabrics, CDN edges, and global backbones. The networks that run massive-scale workloads.
Global-scale content delivery
Design and build global scale live and on-demand video streaming content delivery networks: CDN edge architecture, backbone interconnect, and datacenter fabric for massive audiences.
Data Center Fabric
Design and build 5-stage Clos, 4-plane EVPN+VXLAN fabrics with SMPTE ST 2110 media transport for large-scale streaming and broadcast.
Network Automation
Built CLaaS (Containerlab as a Service). It ingests live production configs and spins up digital twins for pre-change testing. Multi-agent agentic automation for network validation. Request code access →
Standards & IP
IETF co-author (Dynamic Internet Multicast Tunneling), published patent application US20260128981A1: Cache localization using prefix based targeting.
QoS Architecture
Designed and deployed a globally consistent end-to-end QoS policy spanning multiple network layers, fabric architectures, and vendor platforms.
Routing, switching, optical transport, automation, and AI fabric work since 2004. Streaming platforms, hosting providers, higher education. The full history, with the parts that do not fit on this page.
