NEW NET speed record achieved
Two major research centers announched on Wednesday that they had managed to set a new world speed record for data transmission accross the Internet.
[blockquote]The European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, said the feat was achieved in a nearly 30-minute transmission over 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) of network between Geneva and a partner body in California. The transmission doubled the previous top speed.
CERN, whose laboratories straddle the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, said it had sent 1.1 terabytes of data at 5.44 gigabits per second to a lab at the California Institute of Technology, a major world research center, Oct. 1.
This is more than 20,000 times faster than a typical home broadband connection and is also equivalent to transferring a 60-minute compact disc within one second--an operation that takes about eight minutes over a standard broadband connection.
Using current technology, a DVD of a 90-minute film takes some 15 minutes to download from the Internet.
...
Harvey Newman of Caltech said the achievement boosted hopes that systems that operate at 10 gigabits per second "will be commonplace in the relatively near future."
The previous fastest transfer--2.38gbps--was achieved in February this year by a joint team from CERN, Caltech, the U.S. Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Linear Accelerator Center at Stanford in California.
