Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2003 13:40:45 -0500 From: Richard Carlson To: Daniel Davids , lsr@internet2.edu Cc: datatag-ipv6@datatag.org, Harvey B Newman , Pal Anderssen Subject: Re: Internet2 Land Speed Record Submission Dear David; It is with great pleasure that I write to inform you that your team has successfully set a new Internet2 Land Speed Record for the IPv6 Single and Mutli-stream categories. Greg Wood from Internet2 will be in contact with you shortly to arrange the press release details. Congratulations on this achievement! The judging committee would like to make the following additional comments. - The records were set using a standard Linux TCP implementation. This highlights the high-speed performance potential of TCP and shows what is possible over todays high-performance networks. - The record was set by streaming data for over 1 hour. This shows that real science data can be transported around the globe in a timely manner. - An official awards ceremony will be planned for the fall Internet2 membership meeting at the plenary. We would like your team to be present (in person or via video teleconference link) to accept this award. Please work with Greg on the details. Once again, congratulations on setting these new IPv6 records. Regards; Rich Carlson Judging committee chair PS. At the spring I2 member meeting the judging committee made a slight rules change that awards both the single and multi-stream awards to an applicant when that record sets both categories. So even though you did not apply for the multi-stream record, your team has set a new record in this category and you will be recognized for this achievement.
