RE: 50Mb across the country in 6 seconds

Mb or MB ?

If MB, either that was some very very good compression on wan acceleration
or your friend's network uses neutrinos to transmit data bits.

Subject: 50Mb across the country in 6 seconds

Hello Gents. This DBA guy tells me he copied a 50Mb file from his machine in
New Jersey to a server in California in 6 seconds. I told him that's not
possible because the smallest link in the path is 1Gb/sec but MTU is 1500,
so even if you take wire speed, it would be at least 33 seconds before the
file was copied. Am I wrong in saying so?

TIA
