How fast is the Internet at Google? Mind blowing
- wmf 16y agoI'm surprised any CDN can (or is willing to) feed a single client that fast.
- magic_haze 16y agono, but as http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2384961 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2384961 mentions, its probably the quality of the peering agreement making the difference
- iwwr 16y agoOK, so not yet gigabit internet.
- ollybee 16y agoInternet speed is more complicated than that. If you are in a data centre then your connection will be limited by the port speed of the box you are working on. This will likely be 100Mbs or 1Gbs. You may have networking kit connecting at 10Gbps. What really matters at that level and is much more interesting is the quality of your transit and peering agreements. This is hugely important for countries without large internet exchange points.
