That is why there's this neutrinos project It's not faster than the speed of light though it can shoot through the Earth and no cables cost involved So far the speed is 0.1 bit per sec Can't wait for the neutrino SFPs :) adam -----Original Message----- From: Aled Morris [mailto:aledm () qix co uk] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 1:31 PM To: Eugen Leitl Cc: NANOG list Subject: Re: $1.5 billion: The cost of cutting London-Tokyo latency by 60ms On 23 March 2012 11:53, Eugen Leitl <eugen () leitl org> wrote:
All three cables are being laid for the same reasons: Redundancy and speed. As it stands, it takes roughly 230 milliseconds for a packet to go from London to Tokyo; the new cables will reduce this by 30% to 170ms. This speed-up will be gained by virtue of a much shorter run:
If they could armor the cable sufficiently perhaps they could drill the straigh line path through the Earth's crust (mantle and outer core) and do London-Tokyo in less than 10,000km. Aled
