[Posted February 13, 2003 by ris]
Wired
covers
an international team of physicists who set a world record for the amount
and speed of data transferred over a broadband network. "
Data was
transmitted by packets called jumbo frames, which are 9,000 bytes -- six
times as big as the packets normally sent over the Internet. The team used
PCs running Debian GNU/Linux in Amsterdam and RedHat Linux in
Sunnyvale."
