 ## Single node sized models
 You can deploy dynamo on multiple nodes via NATS/ETCD based discovery and communication. Here's an example of deploying disaggregated serving on 3 nodes using `nvidia/Llama-3.1-405B-Instruct-FP8`. Each node must be properly configured with Infiniband and/or RoCE for communication between decode and prefill workers.

 This directory contains examples and reference implementations for deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) in various configurations using SGLang. SGLang internally uses ZMQ to communicate between the ingress and the engine processes. For Dynamo, we leverage the runtime to communicate directly with the engine processes and handle ingress and pre/post processing on our end.

 > Different than `/examples/llm`, this example uses `dynamo-run` to handle the (de)tokenization and routing. `dynamo-run` is a rust-based CLI designed for high-performance pre/post-processing and routing. Read more about `dynamo-run`: [dynamo_run.md](../../docs/guides/dynamo_run.md).
