World's Greatest Bandwidth

High fives all around: Researchers from the Energy Department’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory recently joined an international team to shatter the world network speed record. The team of high energy physicists, computer scientists and network engineers, led by the California Institute of Technology, took first place in the SC|05 Bandwidth Challenge by transferring physics data at a rate of over 150 gigabits per second. That's the equivalent of downloading more than 130 DVD movies in a minute.
