The data rate of this initial chip is 2.5 gigabits per second ; the architecture supports a rate of 10 gigabits per second .

首批芯片的数据率为2.5吉比特每秒；该架构支持10吉比特每秒的速率。

The iteration of silicon photonics unveiled by Intel last week can achieve data rates of 100 gigabits per second , eclipsing the standard eight-gigabits-per-second rate of copper PCI-E data cables that connect servers on a rack , or even the Ethernet networking cables that connect the racks together ( those cables can generally handle roughly 40 gigabits per second at the high end ) .

两周前面世的这块硅光子芯片传输速度可达到每秒100G，使现有的传输水平立刻相形见绌:现在机架上连接服务器的扩展插槽数据线的标准传输速度为每秒8G，而将机架服务器连接起来的以太网数据线传输速度充其量也就是每秒40G。

Since each wavelength channel has the transmission rate over several gigabits per second , the failures of fiber links or nodes may lead a lot of traffic to be blocked .

然而，由于每个波长承载的传输容量可高达吉比特每秒，网络故障（比如链路断裂、节点故障）会导致大量业务中断。

Since each wavelength channel has the transmission rate over several gigabits per second , the failures of fiber links or nodes may lead a lot of services to be blocked .

由于每个波长传输容量可以高达吉比特／秒，光网络中承载了大量业务，任何网络故障（如链路断裂、节点故障）会导致巨大损失。

The standing record is about100 gigabits per second .

通常的限制是大概每秒100G。
