So are they talking about software or hardware? They talk about LHC, but the innovation there was using a different file system: GPFS (http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/219/7/072030 http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/219/7/072030) which meant that data is sharded, managed by age and transparently cached intelligently Are they instead talking about using replacing TCP with something more designed for bulk data transfer? Or are they talking about lighting up fibre with different transmitter pairs? (think dwdm x 10 http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DWDM.html http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/D/DWDM.html) for 5 million, I'd assume its software, if that the case, its pretty much just copy and paste what everyone else has been doing: http://filecatalyst.com/ http://filecatalyst.com/ http://asperasoft.com/ http://asperasoft.com/ for opensource there is: http://uftp-multicast.sourceforge.net/ http://uftp-multicast.sourceforge.net/ http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/ http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/ https://github.com/facebook/wdt https://github.com/facebook/wdt And a myriad of others. Multi stream TCP is fairly simple as the application doesn't have to deal with rate limiting or error correction.
