Alcatel/Lucent nearly doubles previous record...
(old news - 11:22AM Thursday Mar 29 2007)
tags: hardware · bandwidth · networking
Alcatel/Lucent says they've crushed the previous data transmission record of 14 Terabits per second. "Combined research teams from the United States and France successfully transmitted a world record 25.6 Terabits per second (Tb/s) of optical data over a single fiber strand, using 160 Wavelength-Division Multiplexed (WDM) channels." For those of you who need the long-tired DVD equivalent -- that's enough bandwidth to transmit more than 600 DVDs per second. Back in 2002, the record was 2.56Tbps.

I think I now send the atomic make up of the porn models to my polymer-jet printer (inkjet printer with atoms instead of ink) to print out me a human porn actress, but will that be prostitution then? Whether she is dead or alive (we can create cells from scratch) doesnt matter, she will be warm long enough for the deed.

Humans can achieve a data transfer rate of 25.6 Terabits per second, but not make a vehicle that can travel at the speed of light? BOOOOOO!!!

Actually you may not be too far off. From what I remember in my IT classes my freshman year of college, when testing "Internet2" speeds, (our campus, Stephen F. Austin University, is one of the members), they would send uncompressed versions, or equivalents, of the entire Library of Congress.

Some bit patterns are easier to send then others and far less taxing on the system. They undoubtedly used the least taxing bit pattern. I doubt if those speeds can be reached using a standard BERT (bit-error-test-rate) code.

Thats why you cache it in memory. Heck, some 1998 vintage SGI systems could have cached over 1TB in main memory - gotta figure that, nearly a decade later, cache-capacities have gone way up.

The original Origin 2000 in a 128-processor (the MIPS R12000 64-bit CPU) configuration with IRIX 6.5 was capable of over 1TB or real memory in a single operating system image. Now, at the time, there were damned few sites outside of the government who could afford to put 1TB into a single system...

lots and lots of smaller routers spitting at full speed?

Or more likely random packets generated by the transmission device itself, since I don't think any switch backplane or LAN that can feed 26Tbps to an input interface...

Or maybe they bundled 2600 10Ge interfaces

Re: I hope you are all happy.

Don't worry, only the big shot CEOs are still there. Alcatel Lucent recently announced the closure of many locations in Europe

And it the ends, it doesn't really matter what is the citizenship of the CEO... The real owner is the big shareholder. Now I suspect those are still american

The CEO is the old Lucent CEO Pat Russo

but the board of directors is split 7/7 French/American.

It is how the new company is set up they that makes it French and never to return to the US of A. Holders of Alcatel stock had their shares automatically converted to Alcatel-Lucent stock. Holders of Lucent stock have to turn in their stock and it will be converted into Alcatel-Lucent stock. Alcatel-Lucent is registered with the SEC as a foreign company and reports in Euros and uses International Financial Reporting Standards.

The merger is less than six months old, Alcatel-Lucent stock has dropped over 20% in that time. I see a change coming to the board very soon. Goodbye Murray Hill, NJ hello frogs.

World Record: 25.6 Terabits Per Second

The key is the single strand of fiber. As soon as your provider installs it to your home (FTTH) the speed is limitless. All you have to do is change the light emitters at each end to increase the bandwidth. Let's go Telco!

Thearetically FIOS may one day may be doing 25Tbs/32 or /64 (depending how mamy users/how split the fiber is).

spooge

The human genome is about 3,120,000,000 DNA base pairs long, so half of that is in each spermatozoa. That gives us 1,560,000,000 base pairs in a single sperm cell. Each of those base pairs can be a A-T bond or a G-C bond, and can be aligned in either direction. That means there’s 4 ways it can be aligned, and that can be represented in two bits of data: 00 = 0, 01 = C, 10 = A, and 11 = T, for example.
Now, the average dude lets out between 50 and 500 million sperm with each go. Rough average says that it’d probably be about 200 million, right? If we take all this information and combine it with the wonders of mathematics, we have 1.560*10^9 * 2 bits * 2.00*10^8. Do all the equational shit, and we have 6.24*10^17 bits transmitted in a single burst. That’s 78,000 terabytes, in what amounts to half-minute-at-most event. We could fit a digitized copy of the Library of Congress into your spooge. It’d only take about 20 terabytes.
So your dick has a higher bandwidth than any internet connection that ever existed, and is ever likely to exist anytime soon. Now, imagine a machine that used your saltshaker to surf the internet. Of course, god knows most of you would only use that power to surf for pr0n.
