High speed transfer record

[zamboe]

Caltech's members and CERN's members have achieved a transfer speed rate of 983 megabits per second using a transmision based on IPv6 in a distance of 7000 kilometers. IPv6 is a next generation internet protocol.

It's like transfering a whole DVD movie in just 36 seconds. Amazing.

but your normal IDE harddisk wouldn't have been able to store the data at such speed. It stores data at 100mbit per second, if I'm, not wrong. :P

Anyway, this beats my record of amazing speed ;)

Good news :)

I don't think they have tested it on IDE disks Cyborg ;)

The number paired with the ATA on you hard drive is the speed at which it writes. I have a two disk Type 0 IDE RAID with ATA133 disks. This gives me around 266Mbps write speed. SCSI disks are capable of even more speed, and a stripped SCSI array with more disks could reach blinding speeds.

Anyway, this beats my record of amazing speed ;)

I though 36 seconds was your record... oh wait, that was something else... ;)

[gryphon]

What about a RAID fiber-array ;)

Talking about speed records, the 5 SONY HDW-900 camera's used with filming the Matrix reloaded where shifting one gigabyte a second. ..emaigine storing that on eyour local hard drive :-

Thats actually 2 DVD's at full capacity in 36 seconds.

So when can I start downloading illegal ri... er I mean when will this become commonly used? :D

No, but casual people would have problems taking advantage of the bandwidth if offered today. That was my point. :)

[gryphon]

ok, and you're right about that. :)

[number6]

It's pretty sad when your hard drive is slower than the network. :O

Nobody can afford hardware that offers that much bandwidth anyway, even if it was available.

[Ice_Cube]

The fastest connection is an OC connection.

Max: 40Gigabytes per second.

OC-1 (51.84 Mbps)

OC-3 (155.52 Mbps)

OC-12 (622.08 Mbps)

OC-24 (1.244 Gbps)

OC-48 (2.488 Gbps)

OC-192 (10 Gbps)

OC-256 (13.271 Gbps)

OC-768 (40 Gbps)

Ken124578 gave me this information to post as he can't log on :P

"Using standard equipment and infrastructure developed in the Internet2 community, we've pushed the boundaries to the edges."

I have known of several instances where people have achieved blinding speeds (200+Mbps) just by tweaking the TCP/IP code in Linux while using standard NICs on LANs.

Emagine that they could do that with a standard home computer running Debian GNU/Linux, then that now you just need about 650 computers to DDoS a webserver using a trunked T1 line. ...

Now emagine the bottleneck they mentioned in the article, where the Net could offer those speeds for anyone only the hardware had to be changed. ...think we be having a change of using all that unused bandwidth on the backbone fiberlines of The Net if we all have those type of connections.. . . any one in for a DDoS with 2 computers ?

[bryorama]

Wow, even though I barely have a clue what ur talken about.

[ken124578]

Nope, we might cause thousands of dollars of damage and you know how much the feds dislike that. ;)
