The bandwidth each computer has access to is almost certainly not the entire bandwidth that Google gives its employees access to - if so, the per person bandwidth would be quite low.
Of course, not being a Google employee, I wouldn't know for sure.
- Locke1689 15y agoWhy, exactly, would a consumer NIC be faster than 1Gbps? I'm sure the MV campus bandwidth consists of a ton of fiber directly to the core. They probably give everyone all the bandwidth they can stomach--no one could generate that much traffic, even if they wanted to.
- dholowiski 15y agoOf course, the bandwidth is limited to gigabit (probably) to the desktop, or less if the OS/Hardware can't handle it. And I'm sure they limit bandwidth for users... imagine a PC infected with a virus, or bit torrent left running, if everyone had full gigabit upload speeds.
