The participants in the next-generation Internet2 project this week will recognize a team of companies and research institutions that set a new “land speed” record in data transfers.
Using the Internet2 network, a high-speed backbone connecting various universities and think tanks, a small collection of technology companies and research institutions in February transferred 6.25G bps across 6,569 miles—68,431 terabit-meters per second—a high-water mark for TCP/IP data transmissions measured against a unit of distance.
