New Internet Speed Record

http://msn.com.com/2100-1104_2-5195614.html

Researchers have set a data transmission record over the Internet2's high-speed backbone.

The record, announced Tuesday at the Spring 2004 Internet2 member meeting in Arlington, Va., was for transmitting data over nearly 11,000 kilometers at an average speed of 6.25 gigabits per second. This is nearly 10,000 times faster than a typical home broadband connection. The network link used to set the record reaches from Los Angeles to Geneva, Switzerland.
