A new data throughput record has been set at Europe’s largest Internet Exchange (IX), DE-CIX Frankfurt. In parallel to the quarter-final second leg of the UEFA Champions League, on April 16 at 9:21 p.m. (CEST), more than 17 terabits per second (Tbit/s) (to be specific, 17.09 Tbit/s) of data flowed over the IX for the first time. 17 terabits per second corresponds to 5.7 million videos in HD quality being streamed simultaneously.
