# Hosts: ~10
Contact: Stephen T. Pope (stp@create.ucsb.edu)
 

SuperWeb

Data transferred: Small messaging packets, 2-3 packets per message
Bandwidth: 80 Mb/s, the higher the available bandwidth, the finer the grain of the problem that can be resolved
QOS: Lowest latency is critical, no pre-determinable quality of service requirement (i.e., latency more important than packet loss)
