What Would You Do With a 92 TBps Router?
enodev writes "Cisco announces today it's new 'Carrier routing system' For a price tag starting at $450,000 it's able to route up to 92 Tbps. It also features IOS-XR and the first optical OC-768c/STM-256c optical Interface." update changed TBps to Tbps and suddenly things seemed less cool ;)
I begins with 'p' and ends with 'r0n'.
Route traffic.

...because my home network equipment only has 100Mbps adapters, and I can't afford to upgrade them all.
My mom always said, "Jim, you're 1 in a million." Given the current population, there are 7000 of me. God help us all!

Yeah, is there any other thing to do with that much bandwidth? You could get porn at such high resolution you can see the ingrown hairs on the porn "actress'" butt.

actually, I just hook it up in my apartment and not tell anyone- then the next lan party I host not get complaints that my network is too slow.

I have this weird image of a pile 72 routers being daisy-chained serially, with the insanely grinning salesman standing next to it saying "Look! If you connect them to each other they go twice as fast! It goes up to 11!"
Now that gold-plated high-speed modem cable will finally come in handy!
Now you guys please be careful not to /. Cisco :)
I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you down
... I'd sell it and buy an Aston Martin. I'm not THAT much of a geek -- big routers just don't attract the babes the way I'd like.
I'm not normally an irrational zealous dickhead, but I figure "When in Rome..."
The first thing I'd do is set it up for use with my Cable Modem connection.
Immediately, I'd notice it wouldn't work.
Then I'd call up my technical support for the cable service, and tell them I couldn't connect.
They would have me unplug the modem from the "PC", shut down my computer, and reboot it. It wouldn't work.
Then they'd have me cycle the cable modem.
Then they'd ask me if I had a router. I would say "Yeah, I do bitches! I got me a Cisco 92TBps. Cost me almost a half-mil, but it's sooo cool!"
Then they'd tell me it was unsupported, to which I'd respond I would wedge that pizza box sideways up their asses.
THE END
I would...
for the first time ever...

+1 Insightful, -1 Troll. What can I say, I'm an Insightful Troll.
I had a silly asignment for a class of mine: look up and a router, tell me what it can do, and then compare/contrast the router you picked with one another classmate picked.
:P)
Being the sadistic mothrefucker that I am, I hopped over to cisco's site at about 1am and saw this beast listed "Carrier Router System". I didn't recognize it as a "normal" Cisco offering, and 92Tb/s is really fucking fast. Though, beyond that, I didn't think anything of it. Cisco is just expected to have the fastest stuff out there, right? And to think, were I more up on my Cisco products, I could've submitted this to the front page. (And they could have denied me access, and posted someone else's submission 12 hours later, as tends to be the case around here
As it sands, those sorry sons-of-bitches in my IT200 networking course are going to hate me. They likely all picked SOHO equipment to compare/contrast and won't know up from down when it comes to comparing/contrasting. "What's 'Tbps' mean?" they'll ask.

10. Tell all my mates. Note the names of the one or two who don't laugh at me, and remember to send them, and only them, Xmas cards this year
9. Get a really really fast sniffer, so I can make sure there's no porn traffic going through my router
8. Write out 92Tb as a decimal number, just because I know it'll look really impressive
7. Use it to pick up chicks. Revert to old story about being in astronaut training program, as it would be just as successful and slightly less geeky
6. It's optical, right? See what happens when I cross the beams...
5. Sleep with it under my bed. Less painful than a vasectomy, and probably just as effective
4. Paint go-fast stripes on it, put a "Turbo" sticker on it, then track down and razz anyone who spent $450k on the "old, non-turbo version" by mistake
3. Use it to beat the living daylights out of everyone associated with "Big Brother". I really really hate that show
2. Advertise it on eBay with a photo, no reserve, and a description of "some sort of computer network thingy"
1. Buy 2 and see if they'll reproduce in captivity
In other news, MS says such routers need to be installed in every home to allow the downloading of Longhorn patches.

>>I think so Brain, but how can we afford to get a router that can do 92 Tb/s?
