fbnic gives each host a physically separate NIC slice, supported by testing, telemetry, repair, and firmware-rollout systems. Seven selected disruption tests passed, with undisturbed hosts sustaining 92.7 Gbps on 100-Gbps links. T1 unplanned unavailability fell from 9.11% in M1 to 0.74% in M7, reaching vendor parity; this all-cause improvement reflects multiple operational changes, not isolation alone.
