Ethernet at 10 Gbps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-waiting dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This article talks about 10 Gigabit Ethernet and asks, 'But just how much data can a person consume?' Currently at work, we're working on a major project to re-architect our core application platform so that the different systems can be de-coupled and hosted separately. The legacy design implicitly relies on systems being in the same LAN due to bandwidth-expensive operations (e.g., database replication). Having this much bandwidth would change the way we design. What would you do with this much bandwidth?"

    Why do you wish to work at America West? My little sister works there and the understanding is that they are having real trouble. It is a big part of the reason why they treat their employee's like s**t.

    I honestly cannot understand the Slashdot crowds (or maybe a selects few's) obsession with pornography. I read the title to this article and was reminded that the ensuing discussion would be centered around the act of "downloading more and more porn." Seriously gentleman, move beyond the teenage years and enter into a discussion that isn't focused around the act of parading women. Sorry, it isn't funny, intelligent, and I think most readers would say that you are simply embarassing yourself.
