Not like us consumers will most likely EVER even see that kind of speed, nevertheless have it offered to us on a tiered pricing plan. | |

But maybe cable providers can someday have this speed on nodes, allowing them to have more users per node with higher caps? I won't count on it though  Could be the next level of backbone though-speed is only as good as the backbones can carry it, no good having a fast line if its tied to a slow backbone though. | |

2.something gigbit is nothing. The bells are running DWDM muxs at around 320 gigabit on a single fiber one way, and Lucent has a new piece comming that will run around 400 gig.
Most telco inter-office facilities are running at least OC48 (2.5 gig) which is being rapidly replaced. | |

agreedmost people are still stuck at slow speeds even in this day in age. i figured computers get faster so would residential internet connections... but nah.

Hmm...So they used 10 Gigabit ethernet cards but how did they connect to the fiber? Did I miss that part in the article?
Plus how can a computer spit out that much data? Must be loaded into memory?? | |

Re: Hmm...While the article says it was done with off the shelf networking equipment, the hardware itself was probably specially built parralel arrays of machines that really do generate THAT much data.. We have a couple of 'supercomputers' like that at my job at a US DOE National Laboratory - specially built clusters that are meant to do nothing but handle incredible volumes of data, and the amount of computing power that these machines are assembled to handle is beyond the realm of your imagination.. The sheer amount of data capture that has to take place in these accelerator facilities is incredible. As a sidenote -- if anyone is interested in reading about the machines I was talking about, take a look at either » www.google.com/search?q= ··· oe=UTF-8or » www.google.com/search?q= ··· oe=UTF-8Rick | |

Re: Hmm...said by article:
The record-setting PCs used Intel Xeon processors at 2.2 gigahertz with a 400-megahertz front-side bus and two-way interleaved memory. Significant upgrades to processor and bus speed already are commercially available, as is four-way interleaved memory.

We is college faculty and students no fiber for us"that no special equipment is needed other than commodity Intel Ethernet cards that we fine-tuned"
We are a university and really well connected to the internet. We live high on the hog. Just an adapted intel ethernet card is all we need. We know nothing about how we are really connected to the internet we are just college students and tenure faculty.
We must just have like a copper pair to the co or something. Think it was put in when the school was built.
Probably fiber optic to them and very very fast. Plus a very direct backbone. Doh. | |

how ?they never said how far that transfer goes...
did they mean to the US or something, via satellite, did they include the connection times from the satellite,or is this with one hop over a single router, and how stable was that connection, how long did they attain that speed (500fs), how good did the data go through, is there any encryption accounted for, does that include error checking bytes, what computer can handle that speed in a simple PCI NIC card (33MHz x 32bits = 1Gbit/s?), ... etc ? | |

Woo hoo....now what?I like how speed records are being broken all the time, yet we're still stuck with 1.5Mbps or dial up. You know what would be an actual accomplishment? How about 10Mbps or even 100 mbit FTTH available to all consumers? Oh wait, what was I thinking? The sun will burn out before that happens in America. | |
