“Just pushing the limit” is quite the understatement. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the total combined bandwidth of internet undersea cables today is ~400Tb/s
- ksec 5y ago>but I believe the total combined bandwidth of the internet today is ~400Tb/s I am not sure how one could even measured combined bandwidth of the internet. Just measuring Tier 1 network? For reference The purposed PLCN connection from US to HK has 144Tbps alone. The current HKA already has 100Tbps.
- zokier 5y agoThe two major new transatlantic cables, Durant and Amité are both 350 Tbps each. I think Googles Grace Hopper cable is another 350 Tbps. https://www.capacitymedia.com/articles/3829012/a-new-era-of-subsea-connectivity https://www.capacitymedia.com/articles/3829012/a-new-era-of-...
- ksec 5y agoYes and we are already looking at Pbps within this decade. My own view is that we aren't that much bandwidth limited. But we are fundamentally limited by latency.
