Bandwidth Challenge Results

the 1st sandman writes "SC2005 published some results of several challenges including bandwidth utilization. The winner (a Caltech led team of several institutes) was measured at 130 Gbps. On their site you can find some more information on their measurements and the equipment they used. They claimed they had a throughput of several DVD movies per second. How is that for video on demand!"

LOC'ed in.

How many Library Of Congress'es is that?

Sponsors?

The Bandwidth Challenge, sponsored by the good fellows at the MPAA and RIAA. I think they forgot to put their logos on the sponsor page.

Your mission should you choose to accept - is to invoke the power of /.

This packet will self-destruct in 8..7..6..5..

Whatever you do...

Don't tell the MPAA - they already tell people you can download an entire DVD movie over a 56K phone link in 15 minutes - imagine what they would tell people how much money they lose per second with this new high speed connection!

Mandatory Spaceballs...

They claimed they had a throughput of several DVD movies per second.

That's nice, but what is it in Libraries of Congress per microfortnight?

130Gbps and they still use jpeg to (badly) compress their graphs.

Re:LOC'ed in.

More importantly, how many letters from MPAA lawyers does that equal per second?
