9.08 GBps is about 0.00044 Libraries of Congress per second; one Library of Congress every 38 minutes.]]>May 3rd 2007 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/
Couldn't agree more with you. I just hope it comes in 100-250 years when I'm dead.]]>Apr 25th 2007 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/Apr 25th 2007 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/
The best bit, however, is the mention of a "a new network with a capacity of 100Gbps," which could see a full-blown DVD shot practically around the globe "within in a few seconds."

Since even the current network can do that in under 10 seconds. At 100 Gbps that's 12.8 GBps, so it would take less than 1 second to transfer a 8 GB DVD, and just a couple of seconds (less than 5) to move an HD-DVD or a BR Disc.

I think they're suggesting that this sorta pipe could connect an entire business to the Internet and not be directed solely to your home PC for emailing Grandma.

"a new network with a capacity of 100Gbps," which could see a full-blown DVD shot practically around the globe "within in a few seconds."

Come on guys! They are already doing that:

7.67 gigabits/sec = 981.76 megabytes/sec
4.7 Gb @ 0.98176 Mb/sec = 4.94 sec (DVD5)
8.5 Gb @ 0.98176 Mb/sec = 8.95 sec (DVD9)]]>Apr 25th 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/
This type of technology will make it so one day even less fiscally-sound countries could make investments that allowed every house hold to have a computer capable of web browsing, word processing, programming, and graphic design. It would be a great step forward in my opinion.]]>Apr 25th 2007 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/ "sending the DVD over in a couple seconds wouldnt help if there isnt a disk to write to that can do 100Gbp"

I do applaud Verizon for their limited FiOS rollout. At least one of you guys is "serious" about your company.

AT&T, you are a joke.]]>Apr 25th 2007 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/
By the way, it seems this particular record was broken because it is a single TCP session over a 30,000 km link. Currently we already have backbone speeds at 10-100 Gbps, just not for a single stream. This is hardly news.]]>Apr 25th 2007 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/Apr 25th 2007 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/Apr 25th 2007 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/Apr 25th 2007 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/Apr 25th 2007 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/
The only real reason to wipe the entire network and start over is to implement something like packet signing as a way to totally destroy anonymity and keep records of everything you do. That sort of thing is the ONLY reason you would need to start over.]]>Apr 25th 2007 8:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/Apr 27th 2007 3:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/25/internet2-operators-set-new-internet-speed-record/May 6th 2007 2:26PM
