According to CNN: "Scientists were able to get 93 percent efficiency out of their record-setting connection because they didn't have to share bandwidth, they received donated equipment in excess of $1 million and they changed the setting of Internet protocols to allow faster data transfers, Newman said." So, you turn down/off all the parts of TCP that allow you to share bandwidth properly, crank up the window and packet sizes, and suddenly, TCP is pretty damn efficient for a one-way transfer. There's no real "science" here. This is a geek publicity stunt. -Dave
