Communication Network
The switch of the G4 comprises 16 internal links (four links to each core) and 16 external links. The internal links can transport up to 3.2 Gbit/s (bidirectional) each between core and switch. The external links can transport up to 400 Mbit/s (bidirectional) between the switch and an external unit (possibly the switch of a second node). The switch can route up to 57 Gbit/s.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
