Sorry, I know this wasn't classic computer stuff
but, I figured that you
guys would know the answer.
Try an OT header next time.
Let me push the question a bit more....
-How do they squeeze that much data down the line? Fiber-optics cabling
only? Data multiplexing?
What about trying to think ? How do they squeze some 160+ MBit, as needed
for a simple TV chanel within a cable (~512x625x25x16) - and they put not
only one one, but rather some dozends of _uncompressed_ chanels within one
cable, one simple copper cable as installed in hundreds of million places
and they do it since 40+ years .... much data come on - if you would ask
for 1,000 GBit connections maybe :)
-How do they discriminate the beginning of one packet
from the end of
another when running at such high speeds?
How can they seperate even a single Byte from each other at the ridicoulous
speed of 300 Bd - even more, how they seperate two bits ?
C'me on - it's the same water than ever - and it boils still at the same
pressure/temperature combination.
Gruss
