At a guess you are not a typical consumer. 10G will happen for the consumer, but 100G might never happen for the consumer. And I suspect it will be a while (quite a few years) before 10G will become commonplace enough that economies of scale kick in making it affordable.
I remember having to schedule a 780Kb download overnight and hoping no one picked the phone up. Or years later having to download shows in advance (illegally because they weren’t available) because streaming wasn’t possible. Now I casually (and legally) boot up any show I feel like within seconds at HD resolutions. I love thinking about the sheer amount of data that is traversing around the internet now. And it’s mor…
60hz even is low today by competitive standards for FPS games. 128 is nice, it should be a minimum.

Yes, I've worked with several that can do that. The interesting thing with disk arrays now is the controller heads are becoming the bottleneck. You used to have many many shelves of SAS drives per controller pair, now the SSDs are so fast that the CPUs are saturated and you have to scale out, not up.
If I can't (reliably) handle 100GBps coming from the RAID array it sounds like I'm not going to be able to handle 400GBps coming in from the NIC. So these really are just for interconnects for the time being, until server hardware gets faster.

Often it’s only on LAN games for tourneys where the tick rate is that high. With internet latency or bandwidth requirements at that rate you are going to start dropping more and more packets and suffer from potentially more client side mispredictions.
Packet loss is usually very low. 1% and the game will most likely be unplayable.

upcoming on-camera flash memory interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFexpress basically a way of putting a M.2 interface NVME PCI-Express SSD into a camera. https://petapixel.com/2018/04/09/prograde-digital-unveils-wo...
According to the link that's currently limited to 2 GB/s which far to slow to use for this. Phantom v2640 needs ~50+x that speed to do it in real time and I assume the bandwidth needs will keep increasing on the next model.
If it's some truly ridiculous bitrate it probably uses proprietary packs of RAM with battery backing.

I don't think there's a regular FPS game that does 60Hz. That's usually reserved for the private servers, tournaments. This guy does a lot of game network analysis of the most popular FPS games: https://www.youtube.com/user/xFPxAUTh0r1ty/videos

100G/wave device will be the norm moving forward and 8 lane devices for 400G won’t be around much except in niche applications.
for long reach, yes, but not for ISP-to-ISP interconnection... the cost of coherent (QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM) 100G SerDes and modulation/demodulation is considerably higher and only justified if going a great many km. For intra-peering-facility connections I don't see coherent 100G (or multiples of coherent 100G bundled by CWDM into 200G, 400G interfaces) becoming the norm anytime soon.
Does aanyone here work with consuming (not just passing it kn) these amounts of traffic? How do you manage to get anything meaningful out of it?
