New net designed to handle 10 10Gpbs Lambdas
Internet2 lights up the first segment of next-gen net
“According to Internet2, the new infrastructure is expected to allow members to “reliably exchange terabyte-scale data in seconds.†At a meeting, Internet2 members are expected to demonstrate a 100Gbps Ethernet transmission.
Internet2’s network is expected to be fully functioning by mid-2007.”
A 100 Gbps? The maximum rate at which I have transferred data is 6Mbps on a LAN connection.
The development of the technology is certainly going in the wright direction but what about its reach.
