"As reported in Chinese state media, tests of the network saw it shift 72 terabytes of data in 1.6 hours, across a distance of around 1,000 km between a radio telescope in Guizhou province and a university in Hubei. We think that's almost 100 Gbit/s, an impressive feat for a sustained long-distance data transfer even if it took place in a controlled environment."
"His presentation about CENI is an eye-opener as it compares China's network to ARPANET and the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) - US research networks used to do much of the formative work that gave us the internet and so much more. Both ARPANET and GENI have been decommissioned, although many nations and institutions operate more modern research networks - a class of facility referred to as a "national research and education network.""
China has certified the China Environment for Network Innovation (CENI), a research network that links 40 cities with over 55,000 kilometers of optical fiber. Tests moved 72 terabytes over roughly 1,000 km in 1.6 hours, achieving nearly 100 Gbit/s sustained transfer in a controlled setting. CENI supports 128 heterogeneous networks and 4,096 parallel heterogeneous service tests and took more than a decade to build. CENI aims to develop networking innovations years ahead of current technology and to enable offensive and defensive national cybersecurity exercises and capability verification. CENI is positioned alongside international research networks such as ARPANET/GENI as a national research and education network.
