NetBSD sets Internet2 Land Speed World Record (3 May)

SUNET의 연구원들은 2대의 델 2650머신(single 2GHz, NetBSD 2.0beta)으로 Internet2 Land Speed 기록을 갱신하였다.
SUNET은 Luleå University of Technology에서 Sprint PoP으로 단일 IPv4 TCP stream으로 30분이 안걸려서 약 840gigabyte를 전송하였다.
이것은 69.073petabit-meters/sec에 이르는 속도이다. 연구팀에 따르면 NetBSD가 선택된 이유는 "TCP코드의 scalability때문" 이라고 한다.

Researchers at the Swedish University Network (SUNET) have broken the Internet2 Land Speed Record using two Dell 2650 machines with single 2GHz CPUs running NetBSD 2.0 BETA.
SUNET transferred around 840 Gigabytes of data in less than 30 minutes, using a single IPv4 TCP stream, between a host at the Luleå University of Technology and a host connected to a Sprint PoP in San Jose, CA, USA.
The achieved speed was 69.073 Petabit-meters/second. According to the research team, NetBSD was chosen "due to the scalability of the TCP code".
