It sounds like this builds on top of Ethernet to provide a higher performance alternative to UDP/TCP, with some sort of hardware acceleration.

I may be in over my head since I’m not an HPC/datacenter expert, but not sure I understand how you’d use this on the software side. Maybe someone is aware of specific examples? (beyond the vague “HPC/AI”)

edit: as another comment mentioned, the diagram shows it’s on top of UDP/IP, so it’s mostly an alternative to TCP/IP

From a software perspective you probably wouldn't see Falcon at all. You'd use, say, the RDMA verbs API and under the hood it's accelerated by Falcon.
