UO, Oregon Gigapop, NYSERNet Set IPv6 Land Speed Record

The UO Computing Center was part of a team that set the first record for Internet performance using IPv6, the next-generation Internet protocol in the Internet2 Land Speed Record Competition this September.

Collaborating with NYSERNet, a New York based nonprofit networking organization, as well as the staff of Abilene, the Indiana Network Operations Center, and the Internet2 End-to-End Performance Initiative, the UO transferred 3.47 gigabytes via the Oregon Gigapop over 3000 miles from Eugene, Oregon, to Syracuse, New York, at a speed of 39.81 terabit meters persecond.

Other Internet2 sites utilizing IPv6 are shown in the table below.
