I still remember a Google screening call I had a long time ago. "You have 1 petabyte of data you need to transfer halfway the world, what kind of network protocol would you implement for it". I, of course, "a truck/ship/container with tapes?". "No it needs to go through <i think a satellite link>". "Well, lemme see, larger frames, window sizes, capacity of the link becomes sort of the leading issue, but seriously, I'd Google for some papers and take it from there". I found it an extremely strange interview, as it went on like that.
