Right, we don't talk (in detail) about the "capacity" of our network. However, you can see that we just added a crazy new submarine cable to Japan (FASTER, https://plus.google.com/+UrsHölzle/posts/c6xP4PGmTAz https://plus.google.com/+UrsHölzle/posts/c6xP4PGmTAz) with 60 Tbps (I think we've reported somewhere that Google will use 10). And in many ways, it's a lot easier and cheaper to do networking over land like say in the US or Europe than between the west coast and Japan ;).
So yes, 665 Gbps is well within our network capability.

- PuffinBlue 10y agoVery interesting, thanks. I had somehow not seen Google's involvement in this project. Reading between the lines of what you said it's clear just how big your network could be!
