Cisco has unveiled a new routing system that it claims can handle 12 times the traffic capacity of the nearest competing system. And its all about the video.
The company in a much-hyped announcement this morning introduced the CRS-3, a router that can move up to 322 terabits per second enough to download the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in one second, Cisco said, or deliver all movies ever made in about four minutes.
