Internet speed record broken at 6.25Gbit/sec [CustomPC] 13:04 The Internet speed record has been broken again, with data travelling 11,000km between California and Switzerland at 6.25Gbit/sec. Internet2, a group of more than 200 US universities, broke its own record for data transfer using the same IPv4 protocol deployed throughout the Internet. Officially the record now stands at 68,431 terabit-metres per second. The group also holds the record using the IPv6 protocol, which stands at 4Gbit/sec. The record breaking transmission, at around 10,00 times quicker than a standard home broadband connection, was sent from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to the world's largest particle physics laboratory, CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Olivier Martin, head of External Networking at CERN, said, 'This new record is of great importance to the future of data intensive grids.... We are hopeful that new [records] will be established this year, bringing us closer to 100 petabit-metres per second marks, or nominal 10Gbit/sec throughputs.' Harvey Newman, professor of physics at Caltech added, 'Recent studies of network requirements by the US Department of Energy have shown that high energy physics, astrophysics, fusion energy, climatology, bioinformatics and other fields will require networks in the terabit per second range within the next decade. In order to realise this vision, we are now working on moving these developments into a production setting and moving on...to higher speeds and hybrid networks involving both traditional links and dynamically switched optical paths.' |

What kind of data do they send? Lots of hi-res porn I bet. |

Yeah I was wondering what they were transferring as well.. dodgy. |
