Next time Brett Glass comes up on I-P talking about P2P users as "bandwidth hogs", remember that I recently met the guy from Argonne who did the UDT FTP code. http://udt.sourceforge.net/ It goes *really* fast: June 4, 2007: UDT reached 711Mb/s (peak 844Mb/s) disk-disk data transfer between US and Russia. Scientists from the National Center for Data Mining (NCDM) at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Geophysical Center at the Space Research Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, demonstrated a new method for distributing extremely large volumes of scientific information across the world. They successfully moved 1.4 TeraBytes (TB) of data in about 4.5 hours over a 1 Gbps lightpath between Chicago and Moscow as part of the Teraflow Network initiative... November 17, 2006: UDT was used in the bandwidth challenge winning entry "Transferring Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data using SECTOR" during the annual Supercomputing conference in Tampa, FL. UDT enabled a disk to disk data transfer at 9.18Gb/s peak throughput between Chicago and Tampa. and Comcast thought they had problems with P2P traffic that was based on TCP. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that someone is going to weld this onto a P2P client and since the congestion control is "user defined", I have to imagine that someone is going to set it to "use all the bandwidth". What will Mr. Glass do then? jim ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
