SYDNEY, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- We have come a long way since the days of bulletin board systems and dial-up connections. Comparing today's web speeds with those from the dawn of the Internet is like comparing a toddler running to Usain Bolt.
A toddler versus Usain Bolt - Fair Comparison?
In fact, that is not a fair comparison at all. A fast toddler runs at an average speed of 1.8 m/s (source). Usain Bolt runs at 10.5 m/s (source) which is approximately 10 times as fast (1 order of magnitude). Whereas your fast dial-up modem ran at 56 kb/s and NetScope is now handling speeds of 10 Gb/s, which is 5 orders of magnitude greater, or 100,000 times!
Most large business Networks are moving towards 10Gb/s already!
As Network Data increases in size business networks are increasing their capacity and most backbones are at 10Gb/s and the Internet link speeds are not far behind. 10Gb/s means 1,250MB/s (source) which is the equivalent of 9,765 of the original Mac desktop per second (source). Has the capacity of the average employee increased that much? That question is beyond the scope of this article.
So how can we handle such high speeds?
Hardware is becoming less and less of an issue these days as processing power skyrockets. There are now well established chipsets that allow NetScope to pass data through a 10 Gb/s bypass card. That means that NetScope will be able to guarantee throughput on a 10 Gb/s link despite catastrophic failure of hardware/power supply.
What does all this mean? Now that affordable and reliable hardware is available that can cope with 10 Gb/s speeds NetScope will soon be able to handle these speeds in our production version.
We are very proud; our baby is growing up! Want to be one of the first to check out the 10 Gb/s version when it is released? Sign up here:
