CANARIE assists in 100 GB/s transatlantic transmission

CANARIE is part of an international consortium that has achieved the first transatlantic transmissions of 100gb/s between Canadian physicists and the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN Lab in Geneva. The transmission was led by HEPnet Canada — the Canadian High Physics network organization based at the Univ of Victoria — and California Institute of Technology. Participating high-speed research networks included Internet2 (US), NORDUnet (Scandanavia), ESnet, (US) SURFnet (Netherlands) and GÉANT (pan-European). CERN is scheduled to restart in 2015....
