Another Internet2 Speed Record Broken

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the busting-outta-school dept.

rdwald writes "An international team of scientists led by Caltech have set a new Internet2 speed record of 101 gigabits per second. They even helpfully converted this into one LoC/15 minutes. Lots of technical details in this press release; in addition to the obviously better network infrastructure, new TCP protocols were used."

    The speed is 101 Gigabits per second (Gbps), not Gigabytes.

    They are talking about "Fast" TCP, which AFAIK just consists of a better routing algorithm and using multiple TCP streams at once.
