Science - Computers: Systems, Networks / série tv / virus
English term or phrase: 10 times the usual nodes
On parle d'un programme informatique (virus) dans une série tv de science-fiction :

"It's particles scattered all over the Internet. This thing must've been insanely complex. Integrated video, audio. Some of this isn't even computer code. Multiple parallel packet routing, 10 times the usual nodes. Whoever sent this is trying very hard to cover their tracks."

10 fois plus de noeuds ??
merci pour votre aide.

neutral  Andrew Levine: I think the asker's intuition is right, the phrase by itself is ambiguous but "scattered all over the internet" and "multiple parallel packet routing" make me think number not capacity. Really, the jargon is typical TV-script nonsense so it's hard to say!

  -> Hi Andrew. I agree with you now that I have read your explanations and the sentence again. Thanks for pointing this out.
neutral  GILLES MEUNIER: 10 fois plus de noeuds suffit, selon moi...

  -> Exact, Gilles. L'interprétation d'Andrew me paraît plus correcte que la mienne.
