Wow, sounds awesome!

New Internet2 Speed Record Set

In what is billed as another step toward a higher-bandwidth Internet, a team of researchers has set a new data transmission speed record over the Abilene Network, the Internet2 backbone.

The researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and Geneva-based CERN transferred data across nearly 11,000 kilometers at an average speed of 6.25 gigabits per second, CERN says in a statement.

The achieved speed is about 10,000 times faster than a typical home broadband connection, according to CERN.

The speed record was set in the ongoing Internet2 Land Speed Record competition and was announced this week at the Spring 2004 Internet2 member meeting in Arlington, Virginia. Internet2 is a group of over 200 universities that work with the technology industry and government to develop the next-generation Internet.

Broken Records

The Caltech and CERN team had previously set a mark of 4 gbps over the same distance from Los Angeles to Geneva using next-generation Internet Protocol version 6 protocols. The 6.25 gbps record was set using current Internet Protocol version 4 protocols, according to the statement.

I somehow doubt that any of us will be able to use it. I believe it's relegated to .gov, .mil, and .edu at the moment.

At 6 gigs a second you would be able to download an entire DVD movie in 1 second which is about the speed of a click on your mouse.
