I think you're refering to the joint press release that CRL and I hammered out back in July: http://www.crl.com/wccdromrcd.html This was for the 417GB day, which is very old news now. The current record, set a few days ago, is 724GB. When we made the July press release, we were informed that actually Netscape/globalcenter believe they hold the record at 2TB/day. Of course this was with a hundred or more servers at several locations...and was one day back in late '97. We're currently doing more than 1/2TB per day, every day, on a single uni-processor P6/200. In any case, I was thinking that the next press release should be made when we top 1TB/day in traffic. I'm also thinking we'll do a press release, jointly with CRL, when we move to gigabit ethernet and also, jointly with Micron and possibly Intel, when we upgrade the server to the Xeon/400. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
