The device also produced impressive numbers over its LAN links: For large packets, the TransPort achieved speeds greater than 92 Mbps. TransPort's throughput for very small packets decreased significantly, to 15 Mbps, a result you would expect for a software-based router. We then reran the same tests, this time with the device's firewall configured with 100 rules, and we saw only a slight drop in overall throughput--2 percent to 4 percent, depending on packet size.
We noticed a significant amount of variability in the TransPort's latency as it approached maximum throughput for a particular packet size, so we ran our latency tests using only 90 percent of this rate. The worst-case latency was 396 microseconds and only 455 microseconds when the firewall was configured with 100 rules--impressive!
Subsea cable alternatives can provide a level of comfort for those concerned about disruptions. Realistically, they will continue to play a small, but critical role in the short term.
Maintaining existing network infrastructures often incurs huge technical debt before newer technologies are adopted over time.
Amid ongoing regional uncertainties, telecom infrastructure in the Middle East has expand to include terrestrial low-latency network infrastructure, which offers resilience and agility in navigating political complexities without relying solely on undersea networks.
