In an extraordinary display of technological prowess, DE-CIX #Frankfurt, Europe’s largest Internet Exchange (IX), has achieved a groundbreaking data throughput milestone.
On April 16, 2024, during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg, our IX witnessed an unprecedented flow of more than 17 terabits per second (Tbit/s) of data – a monumental achievement that sets new standards in connectivity.
Understanding 17.09 Tbit/s:
· Video Streaming: This data throughput enables the streaming of 5.7 million HD videos simultaneously, illustrating its capability to handle massive multimedia content seamlessly.
· Document Transmission: It can transmit around 3.9 billion A4 pages of text per second, highlighting its efficiency in handling large-scale document transfers and data exchanges.
It is equivalent to, a stack more than 420 kilometers high which is almost 50 times higher than Mount Everest.
If one bit were equivalent to one millilitre of water, 17 terabits would fill 3.7 million bathtubs.
