What about a more familar reference than the US Library of Congress - such as 
419 scams per second or worms per second?

By seriously, I cant match their figures tho the ratio is 1:5.62^8 so if my
modem is 33k the CRS is 18.5Tbps or if the router is 92Tbps the modem would be
163Kbps. Perhaps they use half the capacity for "in" and half for "out" in which 
case the above figures double and half respectively.. we're closer now.

.. and what interface card are they using? An OC-768 is only 40Gbps .. a factor 
of 2000 less than the switching capacity.

Curious
