This week's perspective from Bob Reid:
I have no idea what a Carrier Routing System is, but apparently it makes the internet go – and the newest model from Cisco Systems apparently makes it go really, really fast. I know this because the company, in announcing the new gizmo, described it in ways that even a luddite like me can grasp. Calling it “the next-generation Internet,” Cisco put the speed of its new technology into eminently tangible terms, to wit: It could enable the electronic delivery of the entire contents of the Library of Congress in one second, or every movie ever made in four minutes. Or, if that wasn’t enough, it’s capacity is such that every person in China – some 1.3 billion – could make video calls simultaneously. I don’t know how fast 322 terabits per second is, but I get all that other stuff right away. Touchdown!
