The Network Impact on Job Completion Time in AI Model Training

by Phil Gervasi

July 30, 2025

In large-scale AI model training, network performance is no longer a supporting actor — it’s center stage. Job Completion Time (JCT), the key metric for measuring training efficiency, is heavily influenced by the network interconnecting thousands of GPUs. In this post, learn why JCT matters, how microbursts and GPU synchronization delays inflate it, and how platforms like Kentik give network engineers the visibility and intelligence they need to keep training jobs on schedule.
