I have been telling people that the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group needs to start looking beyond 400 Gb/s Ethernet. It’s only a matter of time where we will need it!

I think it's spot on. In years past it made more sense to distribute smaller , incremental patches. More work on the software side, but it was likely a better option than getting blasted on Twitter because "OMG I WANT TO PLAY AND MY DOWNLOAD IS TAKING 8 HOURS". This just follows the same rules as networks have always seemed to; If you build it, they will come, and you'll have to build more. :) On Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 11:57 AM Jared Mauch <ja...@puck.nether.net <mailto:ja...@puck.nether.net> > wrote: > On Jan 23, 2020, at 11:52 AM, Valdis Klētnieks <valdis.kletni...@vt.edu > <mailto:valdis.kletni...@vt.edu> > wrote: > > On Thu, 23 Jan 2020 17:13:15 +0100, Bryan Holloway said: > >> Game releases are hardly a new thing, but these last two events seem to >> be almost an order of magnitude higher than what we're used to (at least >> on our predominantly eyeball network.) >> >> Any thoughts from the community?

I think this is a tribute to how we’ve built and upgraded networks for capacity and speed. - Jared
