Intenet2 Backbone Upgrades

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the can-i-have-one-of-those-please dept.

An anonymous reader "Looks like Abilene, the backbone for Internet2 will join Canada's CA*Net3 and Europe's GEANT as one of the fastest research networks on the planet. According to this press release, Internet2 will be deploying 11 of Juniper network's freshly announced T640 platform. These puppies can cram 32 OC-192 (or 128 OC-48) interfaces into a single chassis.

    I think we need another moderation category:
    'poster is a fscking moron'
