Guinness World Records Recognizes Cisco Router

Advertisement (Why?)

The same book that boasts the world records for most glasses balanced on a chin, the tallest snowman and longest continuous clapping session, now includes Cisco Systems Inc.’s new machine that directs Internet traffic.

Guinness World Records certified Cisco’s CRS-1 router as the highest capacity Internet router at 92 terabits – 92 trillion bits per second – of total throughput. That makes it the first networking technology to be recognized by Guinness World Records, which has tracked record-breaking achievements around the world for almost 50 years.

UK finalist Mat Steeples, said: "To be able to go to Brazil and meet other student developers from around the world is just amazing! The UK finals were really tough so Andrew, Ali and I are going to have to pull out all the stops in Brazil. Whatever happens out there I'm just really thrilled to have the chance to learn so much - it's been a great experience."

Dr Stuart Nielsen Marsh, Head of Microsoft Academia, Microsoft UK said:

"The worldwide finals of the Imagine Cup will be a showcase for the most talented technologists of the future. I have already been extremely impressed by the dedication and flair shown by all of the student finalists in the UK and have no doubt that we will be highly impressed with the calibre of the work presented by all the students in Brazil. I'm looking forward to seeing how they rise to the challenge of meeting real world needs with cutting-edge technology in the future, which is what the Imagine Cup is all about. I wish the UK team the best of luck!"

i hear cisco is going to offer 1 exabyte of storage

#4.1 dismuter on 02 Jul 2004 - 22:15

That's the storage capacity of 10 million average home computers. Seems a bit too much to be possible.

#4.2 theLANDofSMEG on 03 Jul 2004 - 17:25

I don't think it's about Storage, it's about transfer speeds

#4.3 McG on 04 Jul 2004 - 02:21

TRANSFER SPEEDS TO THE MAX! WOO HOO!

"For those who were wondering, Ashrita Furman balanced 75 20-ounce beer glasses on his chin for 10.6 seconds in his New York City backyard in 2001"

My friends and I tried to see how high we could stack beer bottles once, we made it to 7.

How long before ISPs start offering connections to the internet at that speed? That would fill all my hard disks in less than three hundredths of a second.

Maybe now Cisco will do something about their crappy Linksys routers. Got a WRT54G this week and it died after 3 hours of use!

#14.1 Michael Lerner on 03 Jul 2004 - 18:51

Cisco doesn't really own the Linksys product line, it's out of their control if they make inferior products and they're not enterprise class routers so don't expect quality performance.

#14.2 D-j-M on 03 Jul 2004 - 23:31

Bah to that, Ive got Linksys WAG54G and its absolutely brilliant, just read the forums and see.

#14.3 McG on 04 Jul 2004 - 02:22

yeah the routers are not too bad...not too bad at all.

#15 bush on 04 Jul 2004 - 08:31
