5.6 Giga-Bits Per Second
They announced, on November 17, that they succeeded in transmitting data at the rate of 5.6 giga-bits per second over the distance of about 36,000 Km.
This is, as of now, the world record.
A Japanese team, consisting of researchers of the University of Tokyo and other R&D bodies, surpassed the former world record the California Institute of Technology attained this January.
The technical trial was conducted with the next generation Internet protocol IPv6.
Everybody using the Internet might be concerned with this report, or you may continue to use the Internet without knowing the world record on it.
There are many things on which Japan is not No.1 in the world.
Nonetheless, if any country has such a world record, Japan appreciate efforts and endeavors the people of the country have made.
Especially, Japan does so, when such a country does not have any original Western cultural or religious traditions as are observed in the U.S.
So, we hope that someday a team of Iraq or Afghanistan might establish another world record, for example, in the field of Internet transmission performance. They should not abuse human resources in any way, including acts of terror.
