Hello Ray You are refering to dark fiber capacity or is that lit capacity and already in use? On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 9:38 PM, Ray Soucy <rps@maine.edu> wrote:
Well, those are the numbers we can see from a single transceiver (right now mostly 10G and some 40G right now, and 100G on its way); but most of the big players are using multiples of these with DWDM and link aggregation. I'd say the actual numbers are closer to 680G average right now, per path.

Just curious to know at what bandwidth big ISP's like AT&T, Verizon,
Level3, Cogent etc are operating? Are all at or above 40Gbps core bandwidth?
Probably a mix of 10G, 40G and 100G as appropriate. By 2014, that might tilt more heavily toward 40G and 100G. From what I've seen, most peering connections at public IXPs are one or more 10G links. Private peering connections could certainly be higher, if the providers at both ends feel it makes good business sense.

Can internet in USA support that? Call of Duty 15 releases may 2014
and 30 million gamers start downloading a 20 GB files. Would the internet collapse like a house of cards?.
not a problem. the vast majority of the states is like a developing country [0], the last mile is pretty much a tin can and a string. so this will effectively throttle the load.
