The Fastest Internet Speed Today - 9.08 Gbps
According to sina.com, a research team lead by the University of Tokyo created a new record of the Internet speed. The record was actually created back in December 31st, 2006 where the Internet speed reached 9.08 Gbps which could be the fastest practical speed of Internet 2. The theoratical speed limit of Internet is 10Gbps. (The practical speed require a 10 percent improvement for recognition) The test was conducted by transmitting data over a 20 thousands miles path using the newer Internet addressing system – IPv6.
According to this speed, transmitting a high resolution movie could only take 30 seconds. The report says a cpacity of 100 Gbps network is under constructiong by the Internet 2 consortium. What are we going to do with all that speed?!
