Woodside, NY | That would melt a normal PC
The sheer speed would burn out the HD of a normal PC. Only way to get that is to RAID some drives, and spread the load.
That's almost 10x 100 Mbps for 1 Gb

You just know that a package from an ISP would include a 100GB/month bandwidth cap... Make sure you only use that connection for one second/month or else they'll bill you for overages.

Re: That would melt a normal PC
Worse.
Memories aren't that fast.
If i'm not wrong our current MAX transfer on memories is around 6 and some gigabytes per second (48gbps)...
So even the memory can't receive that much that fast.
I wonder how they test it. |

in order to do thise they are using solid state drives in a raid formation. Same stuff needed for the big SMP setups these days. |

You know, I'm curious. If you don't care, then why post? Are you also so naive as to not see the benefits of experimentation with new hardware/materials/methods? You'll never see these speeds, but the methods they use help develop new ways of transferring data over around the world. There's more to the internet than your last mile. Consider the benefit to you if your ISP can transfer more data for the same amount or less money.

Re: Who Cares?
The research benefit of this stuff is amazing, new ways of looking and doing things will get down to the consumer eventually. Anyone saying who cares is shortsighted and should look more then 1 minute into the future.

| I think you are missing the point....
This test isn't to show that somebody at home will get this speed. It shows that a backbone is capable of those speeds and thus there is more bandwidth for everybody to support higher end user speeds (like 100Mbit).
There is a big picture here, just look for it  .

Internet 2 is basically being used just for research & development. They are testing new ideas and theories over how to transfer more information in a shorter ammount of time. It is not a company producing this stuff.
First off - it will take some time before companies produce new eqiptment to sell to backbone providers for faster speeds. I think the fastest backbones now are already at about 10GB/s. Since Internet2 is only a little over the 12GB/s mark it will be a while before they seriously adopt it (probably when it reaches the 20GB/s mark).
It will take time before we see 100MB/s to individual users:
- Unlike the Asian countries that are mainly controlled by the government (and therefore push consumer-level products faster), the US broadband is controlled mainly by business (supply, demand, and execs willingness to try new trends). And at this point businesses are reluctant to give up dough (money) to upgrade their networks due to current shakey demand for faster broadband connections.
I would say most of this reluctance is because of the fact that much of the US's mid-section is farmland which means greater distances between houses (higher-cost to deploy broadband services) and less demand (their 'simple folk' who have little need for internet). Most of the major demand is in the big cities. |

Re: Who Cares?
they could start lowering the price of broadband to say 14.99 for 3.0/512 and 9.99 for 1.5/384
Then we may have something that is much more versatile!
yea money is strict and limited, why pay more then necessary? |
