China is claiming that they now have the world's fastest internet. Their new network transmits 1.2 terabits per second. That's over 1200 gigabits, per second. At this speed, the network will be able to send 150 4K movies in less than a second. Furthermore, it can send all of Netflix's global content

This is moat likely a core/main/back bone switch that feeds many smaller switches. Its not outside the norm, we’re seeing 400gb and 800gb switches that are easily able to push that much bandwidth out a single port. 1.2tb or 1.6tb switches are the next logical step. You’ll only find these switches in massive datacenters or for server clusters like for AI or high performance computing

Thank you for dropping some savory knowledge!

It has to be. There’s nothing in anyone’s house that can use anything remotely approaching that much bandwidth.

Slamming into the great firewall faster than ever?

no more like a link between 2 nodes that belong to the same AS

Isn’t that just called intranet?

1.2 terabits is actually a doable amount
