Ah ok so you just extrapolate the capacity of the pipe based on that, you don't actually generate petabytes of data. That makes a lot of sense, thanks!
I should clarify that we did measure every channel (polarization, wavelength and fiber core) individually. It would not be fair if we just measured one and multiplied ;)
(And yes, that took forever. A shout out to A. A. Jørgensen and D. Kong for their endurance in that.)
