Internet Speed Record has Been Broken
April 25th, 2007 by e-tech
9.08 per second, which equals to sending a high-quality version of the movie “The Matrix” within seconds instead of two days with normal home broadband is the new speed record for the Internet.
Researchers used the newer Internet addressing system, called IPv6, to break the records in December. Data started in Tokyo and went to Chicago, Amsterdam and Seattle before returning to Tokyo. The previous high of 6.96 Gbps was set in November 2005.
Speed records under the older addressing system, IPv4, are in a separate category and stand at 8.8 Gbps, set in February 2006.
