Yeah we thought we were the cats pajamas when we installed our 10gig fiber ring backbone at district and then find out 45 x 45 Mbps was the best feed to Internet we could get. They now have a blazing 1Gig link from TWC ...progress....
I remember when an entire city had a 10Gbps backbone and they were like, “This will last forever!” Now I do a speedtest.net on my desktop and push 8000Mbps, lol! Not that I use that much ever, but a pair of machines end to end can load it up like that kinda blows my mind. Five years from now, maybe I’ll have a 100Gbps SFP module in my desktop running a test at 97Gbps, lol! And we’ll search this email post years later and look back at the ‘good ol days of 1Gbps connections per user’. *From:* Af [mailto:[email protected]] *On Behalf Of *George Skorup *Sent:* Thursday, February 4, 2016 11:15 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] 100Gbps Why I'm gettin only 97Gbps!?

I think I can do it technically with a pair of fiber I can get end to end. Are their LD optics at 100Gbps yet? Or are we still talking dense wave multiplexing?
