Except that the next sentence talks about terabit capacity, which does require picosecond switching.

- Retric 18y agoI don't think we are talking about the same thing, 1 picosecond * the speed of light = 0.2998 millimeters so a lightly longer cable and your packet is time shifted a few picoseconds. Anyway, The Switch 8800 has an impressive 1.44 Terabit-per-second backplane This does not mean it can route 1.44 trillion packets per second even if it can handle that many bits.
