Cisco, the world's largest network equipment maker, said up to 72 of the new CRS-3 routers can be connected for capacity of 322 terabits per second (tbs). The new routers hit the market in the third quarter of this year.

At that maximum configuration, Cisco boasted the routers could in theory deliver every movie ever made in four minutes over the Internet, or connect China's entire population of 1.3 billion people by video conference at the same time.

Only $90k each.

Very reasonable price :2 cents:

Just in time for Google Fiber

.

maybe the basic enclosure empty your looking at a few hundred k for a fully loaded enclosure.

mine has a catchier title , so there :winkwink:

lol, its gonna be a very long time befor the average consumer gets anything like that. personally, i don't want them to. its just too much.

So once hard drive speeds catch up in the year 2035, you'll be able to download every movie ever made in 4 minutes.

This announcement is a signal of the apocalypse.

There will never be a time when any average consumer will buy anything like this.

What? Are you serious? The average consumer doesn't need that kind of power, hell even the geeks don't need that kind of switching capability, no one except a Tier-1 backbone provider, like Level 3 or AT&T. That's it. :2 cents:

That a great advancement and all but it still comes down to the end users connection speed and their machines ability to process it as fast as it comes in...

I don't believe this is designed for the home market. I think this is meant for ISPs. So for example the 322 Tbps could actually deliver 100 Mbps to 3 million customers. Now before you say some ISPs already do that they can't deliver that to ALL of the customers at the same time.

Well 10 years ago if a computer had a 20 GB hard drive that was huge. Now even low end computers come with 750 GB hard drives. At that rate by 2035 a low-end computer should have a 10 PETAbyte hard drive. Or the equivalent of 10,000 1 TB hard drives.

This thread is where the actions at. Nice to see you over here though. :1orglaugh

That would make it very cheap lol
