322 Terabits per second download
« on: March 11, 2010, 04:07:42 AM »
Oh man...  I can not even imagine this.

I remember my 1200 baud modem being amazingly fast.

Quote
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Cisco unveiled a new Internet technology Tuesday that it says will provide the ultra-fast data speeds necessary to stay ahead of users' rapidly growing online video demands.

The new technology, known as "CRS-3," is a network routing system that will be able to offer downloads of up to 322 Terabits per second, according to the company.

Translation: Well in Cisco terms, the router will be able to provide download speeds of 1 Gigabit per second for everyone in San Francisco, download the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in 1 second and stream every movie ever created in less than 4 minutes.

Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers acknowledged that many skeptics will say that those speeds and network capacity are not necessary, but he argued that the fast-growing media usage on mobile phones will ultimately demand it.

Terabits per second? forget about this technical jargon and just tell me how much pr0n per second does this translates to.

It all starts somewhere...

Terabits... Well, all consumer Internet connections are currently measured in megabits per second. After megabits come gigabits. And after gigabits come terabits. To put it in comparison, your hard-drive probably has somewhere around 500GB of storage space. This Internet connection claims to have the ability to fill your hard drive in under one second.

Not just under 1 second, but a minute fraction of a second.  I've got a 1 TB hard drive. (well, 1024 GB) It would therefore take  1/300ths of a second to fill it.  This is speed on an absurd level.

Yep. Just need a T1 or dedicated fiber optic connection to each home for it to work.


Still, its quite impressive :)

You're getting bits and bytes mixed up. Your 1 Terrabyte hard disk equates to 8 Terrabits (according to the most common definition of a byte). A 300 Terabit per second connection would thus take 1/38th of a second to fill your drive which I think we can all agree takes the speed down from 'absurd' to merely 'OMFG' levels.  ;)

T1's are really quite slow by today's standards - 1.5 Mbit if I remember correctly.
