1 edit | Re: spyware... said by bogey780 :Yea, we all are. But if botnets ever get ahold of her IP that speed could be used for some amazing DDOS attacks. Not really.
First of all, this ongoing assumption that a guy who made his fortune on the Internet and ran a dedicated 40 Gbps fiber connection to the Cisco router that he put in his mom's garage is going to suddenly turn stupid, and find some unprotected computer that's lousy with malware to put on the other side of that router, with a public IP address, seems highly unlikely. Second, the kind of home computers whose wetware allow them to become hosts for 'bot software couldn't even come close to saturating a 40 Gbps line under the best conditions. In their typical infected state, most are being thrashed badly by all kinds of malware, and aren't even capable of saturating the measly uplink portion of their asymmetric Internet connections. That's probably why botnets were created in the first place. Third, I have a hunch that anybody who spends a small fortune to build and maintain a custom 40 Gbps Internet connection might get more than a single IP address out of this. Not that it matters much. The point is that it takes a lot more than the mere knowledge of an IP address to exploit anything using that IP address.
You guys are looking at a Dusenberg through Model T goggles. | |

| Re: spyware... Don't feel bad, you're not alone in that respect. My mom is a lot older than Peter's mom, has been a political reactionary all of her life, and has other mental limitations. And although she might not know much about the engineering aspects of her computer, she does know enough to let a professional handle what she can't. A younger mom, in a far more progressive country, might not be as clueless as some assume. | |

| cost ?? Yes, well 40gbps locally.. internationally.. it's doubtful the connection speeds would sustain 100mbits and even less depending on the routes the connections take. That's the problem.. unless 100% of the traffic is routed on internet-2 connections, this is not exactly such a great thing. Although it must be fun pinning out all the speed tests locally.

That's the problem.. unless 100% of the traffic is routed on internet-2 connections, this is not exactly such a great thing. I wouldn't call having more throughput to the home than any of Stockholm's peering facilities could hope to route on a sustained basis a detriment. Aside from cost, which is paid for by the son, there are no detriments. That would mean that there are no detriments whatsoever, then.
IME with unthrottled large file downloads, ~300MB/s is pretty much tops, with the possible exception being hitting a server that's located in the same building where my broadband service is peered. A pair of bonded T-1s could handle that. But I can run 4-6 simultaneous downloads at that rate. That's an efficient way to download, for example, an entire multi-CD software distribution from multiple mirrors in the same time it would take to download a single CD image in serial fashion.
So size does matter. And so does "how you use it". But the important part to note is that it's not an either/or situation. Having a fat pipe and the skill to use it to best effect wins hands-down. | |

3 edits | Re: NIC? said by click_310 :Link / Reference please Not that it's much of a reference, but SE was the first non-US/UK country that had internet connectivity via Internet to USA. Their DNS was fully established the day they put the NS records for their A chains into SRI-NIC.ARPA (10.0.0.51, or was it already NIC.DDN.MIL by then?? 26.0.0.53 or something like that). Months if not years before that, most of their big government/education and many of their big business sites had full IP connectivity already (I think internally at first, then with just a flick of a switch to connect the world together externally but with no A-record DNS, then with DNS, but I forget the exact sequence).
Why wouldn't they have 1gigabit/s connections domestically residentially right now? They aren't laden with baby boomers committing national suicide with ADA, affirmative action, software patents, frequency auctions, punishment for being a good person, demotion of intelligence, illegal alien invasions, exporting all our metal, burning coal (Al Gore) and oil (Bush family) instead of clean nuclear power, importing poison as "food" from China and exporting jobs to Asia and all over, and they're a heck of a lot smaller than our three-to-four tier government system here. EU hasn't erased Europe yet. Sweden, although a silly partially socialist state, doesn't have nearly as many encumberments today as USA does. | |

You say "even" as if Gigabit Ethernet was the pinnacle of networking. In fact, it's kinda hard to buy a new PC that doesn't come with Gigabit Ethernet as standard equipment. 10 GigE cards are well within the reach of most people who really want it, and 100 GigE is in the works.
InfiniBand® network cards are available for 40 Gbps data rates, if Peter's mom had nothing but a single computer to hook it up to. But I suspect that a guy who buys his mother that kind of bandwidth has more in mind than a bare-minimum single PC at Mom's home. | |

| Re: NIC? said by djrobx :Its a practical home pinnacle. True, but most practical homes don't have their own private optical fiber connections. And while 1GbE might be the pinnacle for consumer electronics today, it's also the norm. Several years of market penetration has made 1GbE-equipped PCs the rule, and not the exception. That's my point.
Most hard drives don't come close to utilizing a Gig-E network anyway... AFAIK, no hard disk drives can come anywhere close to 1GbE. So what? The topic isn't about HDD interfaces. The fiber run is for Internet service, not to relocate Momma's HD to Stockholm. | |
