[...] For the Web Delivered at Light Speed: Go With the Flow By Stacey Higginbotham Jun. 29, 2010, 7:39am PDT No Comments MIT’s brains have figured out how to deliver a faster Internet using optical connections throughout the entire transmission, which could result in a web that’s up to 1,000 times quicker, is cheaper and more power efficient. But any such innovation would require a replacement of the current style of routers used inside the network, an expensive proposition for network operators, many of whom are upgrading their infrastructure with bigger and faster routers designed to carry more traffic.

Exactly how can/does the CSR-3 save over 300 acres of rainforest each year?

It's a great product but jumping on the green bandwagon like that is awful - Does the CSR-3 buy up 300 acres of rainforest each year to preserve it? Or does it fly out and plant trees in the equatorial regions of our planet?

[...] Cisco’s new Router is all About Video Cisco has unveiled a new routing system that it claims can handle 12 times the traffic capacity of the nearest competing system. And it’s all about the video. The company in a much-hyped announcement this morning introduced the CRS-3, a router that can move up to 322 terabits per second — enough to download the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in one second, Cisco said, or deliver all movies ever made in about four minutes. Check out GigaOM for the full story. [...]

@Michael C, I would suspect that the $90k figure is a starting price point for a base chassis with minimal to no interface cards . CRS3 architecture is similar to the CRS1 and requires 72 chassis I believe to get to the 322Tbps switching potential. As well, the interface cards are where the cost usually is in these cases. A 100GE interface card is usually north of $100k.

322 Tbps for $90,000. That's about 3.5 Gbps per DOLLAR! So tell me again why ISPs are crying about the cost to upgrade their netowrks.

This just go to prove that as bandwith usage by consumers goes up, the cost to provide that bandwidth goes down. But will we see our bills go down? I won't hold my breath.

YAWN

Doesn't really matter if none of the systems accessing the backbone can handle that data rate.

Doesn't matter if no one wants to pay the ridiculous extortion fees for truly high speed connections to their homes or businesses. (See above)
