Thread: How Fast Do We Need

The Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation ran test with a result of a 14 Tbps transmission over a single 100-mile fiber optic line.

Doubt me ??
HA !!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Ph33R me,
for I will beat you

100 Gbps over ethernet was achieved a little while ago[/b]

Bits and bytes are different people, bits and bytes are different. Gbps != GB/s.

If you noticed I linked to the same page that you have.
I just linked to the news release. So I am not saying they did not do so, but it seems that it was in a different manner. A more complex aptitude.
Using ten different gigabyte channels.

If you compare the two they seem rather different to me.
Where the silicone lase may be adapted for use in many applications, cell phones and other wireless devices.

yep,
and the difference gets wider the higher you go

100 Gbps (Giga-bits per second)
is the same as
12 GBps (Giga-bytes per second)

Ok. So as hard as I tried to stay out of (not knowing what the hell I am talking about stage) I have eventually been drug there.

Is this what you mean

cause it's nothing to do with networking
but the movement of information inside a chip
(optical light pulses are faster than electrical pulses across copper)

this is more to do with processor & motherboard designs than anything else
