Yesterday Cisco announced that it would make an announcement (After on Sunday it announced it would announce something (not really)) that would change the internet as you know it. Today it made that announcement, and boy oh boy

were they right.
Meet the CRS-3, at full capacity (and setup) it can handle 322 [i]tera[/i]bits a second. How fast is that?

[b]Boring news article:[/b]
[quote]Networking giant Cisco (CSCO) on Tuesday unveiled a new network router it says "will forever change the Internet and its impact on consumers, businesses and governments." The new system, called the Cisco CRS-3 Carrier Routing System, will offer network speeds three times faster than its predecessor, the CRS-1 -- or 322 terabits per second -- and 12 times faster than its nearest rival.
Cisco plans to sell the new router, which will be used to direct traffic along the Internet's backbone, to Internet service providers at $90,000 per unit.
The main focus of the new hardware is the exploding market for online video, which requires significantly more bandwidth than traditional data. Calling video "the killer app," Cisco CEO John Chambers (pictured) said in a Webcast that the CRS-3 can distribute 1 billion online videos at any given time.
The announcement had been expected -- and in anticipation, the company's shares have risen 9% in the last two weeks. But the unveiling fell short of the buildup: Minutes after making the new router public, Cisco stock had pulled back slightly, declining 0.75%, even as the Nasdaq was up 0.5%.
"It will just make the network cheaper to operate and allow the carrier to aggregate many more circuits at one site," says Bill St. Arnaud, a network expert. "So rather than deploying 20 smaller routers to connect customers to a cloud, you might be able to get away with one big box such as this."
"The Next Generation Internet Is Upon Us"
In a statement, Cisco said the new system will allow "the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress to be downloaded in just over one second; every man, woman and child in China to make a video call, simultaneously; and every motion picture ever created to be streamed in less than four minutes."
"The next generation Internet is upon us, and we are confident that the Cisco CRS-3 will play a crucial role as service providers like AT&T deliver an exciting, new array of video, mobile, data center and cloud services," Pankaj Patel, senior vice president and general manager at Cisco's Service Provider Business, said in a statement.
"We are entering the next stage of global communication and entertainment services and applications, which requires a new set of advanced Internet networking technologies," Keith Cambron, president and CEO, AT&T Labs, said in a statement. "Having leading edge experience in managing the largest global data network, we are pleased to continue our close working relationship with Cisco and its groundbreaking Cisco CRS-3 platform."
"Key Milestone"
Broadband giant AT&T (T) has already tested the system during what it called the "successful completion of the world's first field trial of 100-Gigabit backbone network technology, which took place in AT&T's live network between New Orleans and Miami."
"This successful field trial is a key milestone in our ongoing effort to deliver the industry's most advanced and capable IP [Internet protocol] backbone network," John Donovan, AT&T's chief technology officer, said in a statement. "The AT&T IP backbone network today carries nearly 19 petabytes of traffic on an average business day, supporting our wireless, wired and enterprise customers' ever-growing demand for wireless and wired broadband applications."[/quote]

Apparently the technology has been tested by AT&T. So maybe it means they're not as bad a carrier as we think, right?
Nah, not really.

Holy shit. Imagine p2p file sharing of linux distros. The sad part is all my mom would notice would be me email opened faster.
The sad part is, even if this is implemented and tons more bandwidth is available to end users, ISPs will still hand out 100mbps routers to their customers.
If Comcast doesn't switch to this I'll be mad.

If they do implement it, they will give you a 18terabyte every month limit.
"Download all of Brazzers really fast"
hahahaha
Added to OP for those who are :downs:
bad reading :frown:

Not even Comcast, think tier one isps
I hope Cox decides to implement these in my area, considering they are the only major ISP(besides Quest... lol).

If you were referring to my post, yes I understand what this is. My point was that customers probably aren't going to see much of a difference and will still get crap equipment from their ISPs.
If the UK doesn't get better than 8mbit/s internet in the next 5 years.. I'm gonna sue BT for being so fucking shit.
hly fuc

Most of the shit modems that ISPs hand out usually can't handle over 15 meg.
At what point... if ever will increases internet bandwidth become obsolete

This is pretty much a synonym for "crappy internet"

And my town apparently! Oh wait, I can't get it because they think I can't get at least 15 megabit, and thus they won't upgrade me. From 0.5Mbit. Fuck them.
Thought I'd take this opportunity to rant.
Shame this new technology won't hugely affect end users?
[QUOTE=compwhiziitothemax;20654690]No not you you're Good.[/QUOTE]
Oh ok thanks. Given what I said before, I do hope that ISPs exceed my expectations and get their act together with regard to their customers. If AT&T started bumping up the bandwidth they offer it might make up for the bullshit we've had to go through with them.

I hear you. We're supposed to be getting 25mbps down but I've never seen more than 12. And as soon as someone starts transferring a big file over the network the internet speed tanks.

Lucky you, we've got a combination router/VOIP/TV deal that I doubt I could find a replacement for. At least I've got my own router for my computers so I can transfer files without killing everyone's internet.

If you call the provider you can setup your own modem and router and they will setup the viop usually on there own modem. Usually.
Oh God yes *fap fap fap* but we won't even see decent speeds until the ISP's decide to get with the times and install fiber to every home, with fast cheap plans like other countries.

Probably not worth the effort. Our experience with their technicians has been atrocious, they'd probably break something and we'd be without internet for months. At least this modem/router isn't rebooting every couple of hours like the last one.

We're getting reports of a Cisco tech being able to stream Crysis on [i]high[/i], waiting for offical word on it though.
