Cisco CRS-3 will allow all Chinese to start video chat at the same time

Yesterday, the entire Internet spread the news about the release of the new Cisco CRS-3 router. According to the company, this is a "landmark device" that "will forever change the Internet."

The bottom line is that the Cisco CRS-3 router is capable of handling traffic in a stream of up to 322 Tbps. This is three times more than the throughput of the previous CRS-1 model and 12 times more than the most powerful router from competitors.

As boasting at Cisco, at such a speed every citizen of China, including children (that is, 1.3 billion people), can run video chat at the same time. All films made in cinema history can be downloaded in 4 minutes.

At the presentation of the device, the executive director of Cisco responded to skeptics who doubt the need for such speeds. According to his estimates, the consumption of traffic from mobile devices is growing at such a rate that in a couple of years Cisco CRS-3 capabilities will not be enough.

For example, in the American telecom network AT & T last year traffic grew by 40%. This company was one of the first to order CRS-3 for testing.

The development of these routers cost the company $ 1.6 billion, and they will go on sale this fall for about $ 90,000.
