Thus spake "Daniel Golding" <dgold@FDFNet.Net>
Is this sort of radiology data sent over private lines or the public internet? What are the bandwidth demands?
Not a good reason for extensive local peering, but a very interesting application.
I've only seen companies pushing this data around between their own sites; for instance a remote clinic with just general practitioners may send films to a central hospital for analysis, or one hospital may send films to another hospital when their staff radiologist is out to lunch or on vacation. BW, of course, depends on how fast you want the transfers to go. The film files are in the hundreds of MB range, and providers are upgrading from FT1 FR to FT3 ATM at major sites. S
