I waa a computer/networking IT geek. Gig speeds, etc. are aggegrate theoritical maxes for the "pipe" .... and total BS.
Back in the day when GIGE appeared, I put the fastest TCP stacks and NICs on the planet in a "loop-back" throughput test ...
I'll respect you in the morning too
But it's mighty-fast....
I was in communications r&d at IBM before fiber fresh outta college....
