NetBSD Sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record
Daniel de Kok writes "Researchers of the Swedish University Network
(SUNET) have beaten the Internet2 Land Speed Record using two Dell 2650 machines with single 2GHz CPUs running NetBSD 2.0 Beta. SUNET has transferred around
840 GigaBytes of data in less than 30 minutes, using a single IPv4 TCP stream, between a host at the Luleå
University of Technology and a host connected to a Sprint PoP in San Jose, CA, USA. The
achieved speed was 69.073 Petabit-meters/second. According to the research team, NetBSD was chosen 'due to the scalability of the TCP code.'"

Fools, BSD is dea . . . oh, wait, what?

They will still get slashdotted.
How does that work?
Does this mean we've broken the "station wagon loaded with DVD's" barrier yet?
We can now DoS sites at even faster speed !

What was the slogan of the recent pro-piracy demo in Sweden? "Vi vil har sex, vi vil har sex, vi vil har 600MBit!"?
Somebody should show Valentini this, I wonder what he'd say...
Val: "You students transfered how much?"
Sunnet: "About 30 movies a minute"
Val: "Un-fucking beli-Oh wait, I already said that..."
..transferring 840 gb of swedish porn across the pond. ;)

When is this supposed to be available for the average joe to use?
Also, what measures (if any) have they taken to combat the current internet's limitations and vulnerabilities?
We have secretly replaced these Slashdot mods' sense of humor with a rusty nail. Let's see if they notice!!
What is a petabit-meter?
Think of it like 3 meters per acregallon of footyards/second divided by hectares per ohm.
Sorry, but I've seen much higher rates of it than this.
If other reasons we do lack, we swear no one will die when we attack
Read the Fucking Summary ;)
if you take a look at map, you'll notice that san jose is kinda far away from sweden.
Everything should be instant
I bet you were a little shithead when you were a kid.
My operating system gets forty petabytes to the nanometer and that's the ways I likes it!

Ok, time to toss a few 250GB harddrives into an SR-71 flying at Mach 3. We cannot be outdone by mere information over wires!
Notice that you accidentally dotted an "a", you cursive-writing moron! If you would just print like a regular person, that would never happen.
True story.

RTFJ.
Theres no way you're gonna get 840gigs of Necrophilia porn on the internet.
Don't forget, we're talking sunet.se. I used to archie tons of porn off there more than 10 years ago. If anyone's got it, sunet does.
how about we get 1MBS real downloadspeed in everyones home before we go shooting porn to reach ISP owners at the speed of light.
Hey buddy. Even on a 56k modem, you're still downloading your pr0n at pretty much the speed of light.

They Stole Sprint's DS-3 cards!
Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
One of the biggest problems in networking is handling a large bandwidth-delay product (that's the amount of data in flight at once). Since distance increases the delay it is relevant.
If anyone cares, a connection with a large bandwidth delay product is sometimes called a long fat pipe. A good networking book should discuss this. I think Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 has a section on it(my copy is at work.)

Consarnit, I won't care until they start measuring it in furlongs per fortnight or hogsheads to the barrel!

And many customers would demand that the parts be made in North America - they wouldn't accept made in China or Taiwan.
Sigh. I miss working at JDS.
I guess they accept parts from China or Taiwan now : )
