Terabit Networking

Speaker: Simon Chatterjee

Thursday 6th November, 20:00
Morley Fletcher Room, Worcester

What sits behind the familiar Ethernet port or ADSL modem, that somehow connects a planet exchanging over 350 petabytes a day? After a century dominated by the telephone, all global networks today are changing to be based on Internet-inspired technology. At their heart are devices that can cost millions of pounds, and require cutting-edge custom silicon, optics, and millions of lines of software.

This talk is an accessible introduction to large-scale networking today, from both real-world and computer science perspectives.

The presenter is CTO of Ensoft_Ltd, whose experience includes helping bringing the Guinness Book of Records' "World's Highest Capacity Internet Router" into existence.
