Tsunami, the IU-developed file transfer protocol, helps break records for high-speed data transfer
Using a network file transfer protocol developed by researchers at Indiana University's Advanced Network Management Lab, physicists at TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, were able to transfer 4.7 gigabits of data between their laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia, and CERN, the European organization for nuclear research in Geneva, Switzerland, in less than 60 seconds.
The data was transfered at speeds reaching 769 megabits per second. This is the equivalent of transferring a full compact disc in less than eight seconds or a full-length DVD movie in less than one minute.
