Re: Whats the point The issue (with both the new speeds and that Comcast will use their existing network) is that this is the second most congested of their SuperClusters (arguably their *most congested*, as it consists of Greater Philly, Baltimore Metro, Washington Metro, Tidewater, and Greater Richmond, in addition to the Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland miniclusters). The traffic *just within the SuperCluster* is approaching saturation, if not oversaturation, and it will only get worse (two Comcast-owned RSNs lie within the SuperCluster, in addition to Comcast's corporate HQ). By moving medium-haul traffic within the SuperCluster to the faster 100 gigabit pipeline, this will give priority traffic a faster pipe within the SuperCluster (always a good thing). It will also reduce congestion in the slower pipes within the SuperCluster (also a good thing). Being able to do so for minimal extra cost, or even no extra cost at all? Priceless! |
