Researchers from Caltech, Stanford and CERN near Geneva in Switzerland, sent data 10,000 kilometres from Sunnyvale, California, to CERN at an average rate of 925 megabits per second. Ordinary TCP managed just 266 megabits per second on the same routes.

Niiice...

By ganging 10 Fast TCP systems together, the researchers have achieved transmission speeds of over 8.6 gigabits per second, which is more than 6000 times the capacity of ordinary broadband links.

ummm, we already have that. Its called TCP window scaling.

Just fill a airplane with tapes and fly it to berkeley. It would be > bandwith.

yes spidey is right, we've just updated all our cisco gear to take advantage of this feature. now just waiting for other hardware we have to add support.

It's about time data came faster than I do.
