China, Russia, U.S. To Build 100MBps Network

prostoalex writes "Gloriad (Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development), a scientific data network, will unite academic institutions in China, Russia and the United States with a 100 MBps link. National Center for Supercomputing Applications received a $2.8 mln grant from NSF, and both Russia and China will match this amount to contribute to network build-up. Later this year, as the Associated Press article notes, a new plan will be launched to move the international network to 10 GBps capacity."

    CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - Soon spammers in the United States, China and Russia will be able to collaborate in cyberspace over a new high-speed computer network that includes the first direct computer link across the Russia-China border, developers say.

    The network, expected to go online next month, will ring the Northern Hemisphere, connecting spammers in Chicago with machines in Amsterdam, Moscow, Siberia, Beijing and Hong Kong before hooking up with Chicago again, said Alan Ralsky of the National Center for Bulk Email Advertising, one of the leaders of the Little CHINANET project. Spam will flow at 155 million bytes per second.

    "This new network permits us to learn more from each other in areas where we have not worked together in the past," Ralsky said Monday.

    [...]

    Spammers have always chosen black-hat ISPs that assure them the capacity to send huge volumes of emails at speeds much faster than typical deliveries and for real-time bargains on high-tech penis enlargements, Ralsky said.

    Little CHINANET - an acronym for Common Harbor for Incredibly Nasty Advertising Networks Exceeding Tolerance - will allow spammers and bulk hosters to work together on such issues as ignoring complaints, safeguarding spamvertised sites, monitoring server performance or joint open proxy exploration.

    [...]

    Little CHINANET is a "first big step" toward development of the higher-speed CHINANET, Ralsky said. That effort, expected to be launched later this year, will send spam at 10 gigabytes per second, 60 times faster than the Little CHINANET.

    Computer connections have fostered spam collaborations that otherwise might not have happened, Ralsky said.

    "There's some advantage to having people being able to talk more regularly," he said. "There are fewer misunderstandings. I think these networks are going to be more important to the more critical issues that we're all addressing together."

    So people are talking about how this network will be free from spam and various other sociopathic Internet behavior. Maybe we could create another network and all pretend to use it instead of the Internet, and trick the spammers into leaving the real Internet for the new one! We could even get on the spammer network every once in a while and bitch about all the spam just to keep leading them on. Dude that would be so cool.
