China launches world’s fastest internet with 1.2 terabit per second link, can transmit 150 4K movies a second::China is claiming that they now have the world’s fastest internet. Their new network transmits 1.2 terabits per second. That’s over 1200 gigabits, per second. At this speed, the network will be able to send 150 4K movies in less than a second. Furthermore, it can send all of Netflix’s global content

    China is claiming…

    When I see these pro-China pieces, I remember that Chinese citizens can’t speak freely, exercise political will, or breathe clean air. As well as China’s actions towards the annexation/militarization of surrounding waters, erasure of Tibetan and Uyghuar cultures, and propagation of destabilizing online propaganda.

          Taiwan air is not that good, actually. It has heavy industry, so AQI of 100 days happen often

        I was gonna say isn’t China a big ol landmass of a country with diverse climates like most big countries? I recently saw a photo I could have sworn was taken in the bahamas or some other stereotypical tropical paradise but no apparently southern China has some cool beaches lol

          Actually, yes, the air quality is good in places away from heavy industry. Hainan has some good surfing spots, it’s usually what people think when they think about China beach spots. That said, it’s as expensive as California because it’s one of the few great beach places that Chinese people without a passport can go to (other benefits being everyone speaks Chinese, the food is familiar, etc.). Thailand is a much better value for money, for example

        I’m sure they’d love to come live in the US though. Lines at the US visa offices in China have been enormous.

        Funny thing is, I don’t see articles that say “America launches (best AI thing / fastest chip / 5g bs)” … just the company (usually international) that did the work.

        Also all true, sadly. I’m so lucky to be European, although it’s not paradise here, either. But still…

            Fuck right off. Seriously, fuck off. It’s none of our faults, everyone involved is fucking dead or certainly not on Lemmy.

            You can take your misdirected feelings and shove them right up your stupid ass.

              Maybe don’t brag about your social programs when they’re funded by hundreds of years of rape and pillage? Idk, just an idea

              On second though nah you’re right, your continent is super enlightened now that it gave up colonization less than a hundred years ago

                Not that I think your point makes any sense but it’s a bit rich coming from a US American

    This is moat likely a core/main/back bone switch that feeds many smaller switches. Its not outside the norm, we’re seeing 400gb and 800gb switches that are easily able to push that much bandwidth out a single port. 1.2tb or 1.6tb switches are the next logical step. You’ll only find these switches in massive datacenters or for server clusters like for AI or high performance computing

      My campus is working on upgrading our redunant 100gb ISP connections to 400gb next summer, so not necessarily just for HPC/AI/‘massive datacenter’.

      Granted,

      A) our 100gb edge routers are reaching end of life

      B) a LOT of grant proposals will be able to put down “400gb uplink on our campus”, which helps land research money

      C) The new routers will probably run for 5-6 years before we start scheduling an upgrade, so its considered money well spent on future proofing.

      Our actual bandwidth utilization normally peaks at like 22gbps (every now and then we do see it get closer to 75gbps, but that’s perfsonar running tests to/from other institutions).

    Don’t worry, bandwidth will still be shit because of all the spy funnels and filters traffic is run through

    Internet implies that multiple separate networks can all use this link at 1.2 tbps. This is not the case.

    What a horribly written article. I think I read the same thing 4 or 5 times. Just padding I guess to fill the available bandwidth?

    China’s economy is set up for these headlines, government bodies are spending hard on infrastructure and sometimes it’s good (roads, bridges, dams, most of them have a long term value to a region) and sometimes it’s overbuilt, like the small/medium city with two airports.

    They want the implication to be “China has the best internet, thus China is the best place to go for my internet company” or something like that. But they are intentionally overbuilding for a future state that may never come, just like the small/medium city with two airports.

    It’s great to invest in infrastructure, but other things count too, and there are diminishing returns at some level of development.
