Production commercial networks need not apply, 'lest someone realize that
they blow away these speed records on a regular basis.

What kind of production environment needs a single TCP stream of data
at 1 gigabit/s over a 150ms latency link?

what kind of production highway sees the kinds of cars that reach the
world land speed records?

why is it that nanog'ers seem to display such aggression at this type of
thing? is it the article itself, the work the researchers are doing, or
the fact that they had the bandwidth and hardware to do it with?
