How fast can data travel over Ethernet? If you answered 10 Gigabit per second, then you would be off by about 90 gigabits per second. Infinera, a San Jose, Calif.-based start-up, along with University of California, Santa Cruz, Internet2 and Level3 Communications, today demonstrated a 100 gigabit/second Ethernet connection that could carry data over a 4000 kilometer fiber network. The trial took place at the Super Computing Show in Tampa, Florida.

  1. That is pretty cool but now with them making it that fast someone is going to try to make it even faster and faster which in the long run this is going to be a never ending process. Now I doubt it will end up happening any time soon but still.
