| 544535 | 2007-04-26 19:37:00 | www.technewsworld.com Advanced networking consortium Internet2 announced on Tuesday that an international team of researchers led by the University of Tokyo have set two new Internet2 Land Speed Records. The first record, achieved on December 30, came after researchers successfully sent data at 7.67 gigabits per second (Gbps) over a next-generation IPv6 network path using standard TCP communications protocols. The team created a network path over 30,000 kilometers in distance that crossed six international networks and spanned more than three-quarters of the Earth's circumference. The following day, researchers, using a modified version of TCP, were able to surpass their earlier work to pull off an even faster record. With the same 30,000 km path, researchers pushed the network to a throughput of 9.08 Gbps |

| 544537 | 2007-04-27 03:15:00 | How much money have you got? Look at how it's done. (data-reservoir.adm.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/lsr-200612-01/) When you've bought the hardware at each end, you can buy the bandwidth on the cables, makes sure that intemediate nodes have equivalent speed routers, and become an ISP yourself. You might not get many customers in NZ; many of them think that bandwidth should be free. :D | Graham L (2) | ||

| 544539 | 2007-04-27 05:06:00 | No exchanges used there . The routers used seem to cost about $US30000 each, and the switches aren't much less . At a guess there's $US500000 worth of hardware dedicated to that link . Then there's the preempted cable bandwidth . . . that costs a lot too . And, of course, they didn't transfer any real data . They just sent packets to be counted by tcpdump . The machines at each end couldn't use, or even store, 8 gigabytes/sec for 10 minutes . |
