Cern's grid in 2013 with 42GiB/s. It's like transferring 40 HD videos at once (720p, 60Hz, not compressed).

Pensatore: "That's not unusual; the bigger a machine gets, the longer you spend maintaining and upgrading it. [http://phys.org/news/2014-07-large-hadron-collider.html Our colleges at CERN] can tell you a thing or two about it. The difficulty with AVATARA is splitting simulations across multiple, geographically distant clusters and having it run reliably. Before AVATARA's official restart, there will be tests to ensure everything will be alright. This includes AVATARA's new autonomy protocols. We will pretend there are complications that require running more tests. These will be your actual Daodan simulation. This way you will get about one month's computing time. No more, so you better use your time wisely."

Mukade foresees the missing results of the extra tests and uses the TITAN network to generate fake data, scaled and polished. "Pensatore, you expected our little secret to be busted. But you aren't the only one that has a decent understanding of computers and networks."
