new network transfer record set!

sprint corp and swedish firm sunet have set a new data transfer record.

840GB of data traveled 10,000 miles in a time of 27 minutes.

Quote:

Officials said no special hardware or connections were needed, as the data traversed Sprint's global Internet backbone, SprintLink, and the GigaSunet IP backbone at 4.23Gbit/sec. Along the way, it traversed 40 IP routers, 35 of which were in the SprintLink network. The end hosts were standard Dell 2650 servers, each running a single Intel Xeon 2-GHz process with 512MB of RAM.

Wonders about any transfer records set by the Martian Rover, and Sojourner Projects.
