Gilmore et al used a bunch of old Sun Chassis for his & Kocher's DEScracker. You think this is somehow more than 100 watts, in a diplo suitcase, nowadays?
My point was, Gilmore et al were way behind what's capable. Proof of concept needn't be compact. A suitcase can handle his DesCrack, with all due respect, nowadays.
OK, so you're saying that this suitcase takes in say 10 OC-192s, demuxes all of them down to the DS1 level (we're at 50,000 DS1s), demaps and unpacks the ATM cells, and then reassembles all of the packets therein? Questions:
Just for yucks, look up the specs on an Intel IXA processor.
1) How does this majic box store all that data?
No store, just bridge.
2) I've been in dozens of COs myself, and have worked extensively with people who have spent (collectively speaking) centuries in them. They never saw such a magic box a you describe, and indeed would certainly know about someone trying to install one. Or perhaps the NSA has developed a cloaking device making the box invisible?
Do you think they so naif they'd expose themselves to a poster who dares post *here* ?
2) What silicon does t use? Are you saying that the government can do a LOT better than 0.13 microns these days?
I'm saying that tech xfer on metal coated diamond is not just for fun. And years behind reality, for those with $400 toilet seat budgets.
3) If the majic box doesn't store the data, how does it get it back to HQ? Telepathy?
One more time: dark fiber and compact drivers. Or even your more subtle unused-bandwith usage, "back atcha".
As for trolling, well when I do it I do it with friggin' style m'friend.
True 'nuff. I mean no harm, only to provoke some to think, is all. Clearly you are the uber-Sonet-troll. :-)
