Looked down at my ThinkPad dock to plug in a USB device and saw a 10 next to it. USB.org has specs on a 10Gbps serial bus.

Time to trash the network. I’m getting a 10Gbps 24-port USB hub. :D

    I’m starting to regret buying all those Mellanox NICs and pulling SM fiber runs through my house now.

    Thunderbolt can create a network link between computers. A co-worker and I tried it out and we are excited to test what transfer speeds we can get with it.

      Ya know, it’s sorta funny that this kind of connectivity is what started ‘workgroup’ networks… ThickNet, ThinNet, etc. Ring topology is a good idea until you mix people and their computers in!

        I’m frustrated that wired networking equipment faster than one gigabit is still expensive. My employer at the time upgraded to Gigabit equipment in 2016. Since then we have been on Gigabit. It’s sad to me that even today 2.5 Gbps network equipment is uncommon.
