A native 40-Gigabit Ethernet wave is up and tested in preparation for Supercomputing (SC) 09. Runs between NLR's Seattle CRS-1, which is shooting a 40-GigE alien signal (no transponder) to the Seattle 15454, then to the Portland 15454 and back to Seattle.
This 40-GigE connection will be available to all interested NLR users for the conference in November.
