Tokyo boffins crack internet speed record
30,000km at 7.67Gbps

An international team led by the University of Tokyo has set two consecutive Internet2 Land Speed Records (I2-LSRs) in the IPv6 single and multi-stream categories.

Using standard TCP, the team successfully transferred data in the single and multi-stream categories at a rate of 7.67Gbps, the equivalent of 230,100 terabit-metres per second (Tb-m/s).

Not satisfied with these results, the next day the team used a modified version of TCP to achieve an even better record.

The announcement at the annual Internet2 Spring Member Meeting marks the ninth and 10th time that a University of Tokyo-led team has achieved an I2-LSR.

As an open and ongoing competition for the highest-bandwidth for end-to-end networks, the Internet2 LSR awards recognise the fastest rate at which data is transferred multiplied by the distance travelled.

The Tokyo team collaborated with Wide Project, NTT Communications, JGN2, SURFnet, Canarie, Pacific Northwest Gigapop and other institutions.

The network path covered over 30,000km in distance, crossing six international networks, and equalling three-quarters of the circumference of the Earth.

Using the same 30,000km path, the network was able to achieve a throughput of 9.08Gbps, equivalent to 272,400Tb-m/s for both the IPv6 multi and single stream categories.

In doing so, the team surpassed the current IPv4 records, proving that IPv6 networks are able to provide the same, if not better, performance as IPv4.

"These records are final for the 10Gbps network era because they represent more than 98 per cent of the upper limit of network capacity," said Dr Kei Hiraki, professor at the University of Tokyo and LSR team leader.

"Through collaboration with a number of institutions, we have demonstrated the ability to overcome the distance and achieve this newest mark."

It's a 2 day old news. I posted here becoz no one posted it here.

[blueshift]

Nah..there is. check the thread by freebird.

Nice. When will india get 7.67Gbps is a question?. Maybe somewhere on 3010?.

[csczero]

make it 5010

Ah. By then everyone in this forum and most of the people wont be there.

^^u never know, by then beings from other planets mite be members too!!!

n as for the internet speed record, this means(m not good with numbers at all) 1 single dvd size file in less than one second!!

Why single dvd?. You can download whole of Blu-Ray in 2 secs.

its not so old...I read it around 3months back

[piyush gupta]

Yarr cna u give me that speed for 1min.

yeah.

I reported this thread so that the other thread is merged here.

[xbonez]

when will inida get a good and cheap 2mbps connection. forget about any speed in gbps

[rakeshishere]

@xbonez
In the Next 2 yrs

The speed record was achieved in December 2006 but, the official announcement of the crack is made on 25th of this month at the Internet2 annual Spring Member Meeting, which ends Wednesday in Arlington, Va.

my grand grans *** sons will use it

[~Phenom~]

I will be more than happy if I get even 10% of that speed.
I am not greedy.....
lol.

[Pathik]

even 0.1% of that wd be heaven 4 me..

What will you guys do with such a speed? Even if you get the network speed...can your hard drives manage to read or write at such speeds? Those guys are using test packets to achieve those speeds while you all will want to download/upload real data

1. Streaming Music and Movies.
2. Playing games online.
3. Watching TV on net (future).

and lots more.

You see they are lot of possibilites to do so much on that speeds. Not just downloading.

Also 1 TB HDD has come.

[eddie]

^ It is not about how big the space you have on your HDD. It is about how fast your system can read data from your HDD platter. According to storagereviews.com, the fastest hard drive we currently have is Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 (300 GB Ultra320 SCSI) and its maximum transfer rate for reading is 135 MB/s or approx. 1 Gb/s and that is the maximum!!! In real world you will get much lesser transfer speeds. So the point becomes that can your hard drive serve data to accommodate that kind of network speed? I guess not...

v will have 2 just WAIT & watch .........

[The Conqueror]

What would be the cost of 2mbps in Japan???
Hope India gets 2 mbps unlimited plans

[The_Devil_Himself]

Oh boy not again.Harry you are bumping old threads too often.

[Harvik780]

^^Many people are bumping old threads now.

AGAIN that's kool
