FDT was used at the Supercomputing 2006, by the Caltech team for the Bandwidth Challenge.

Following the rules set for the SC06 Bandwidth Challenge, the team used a single 10-Gbps link that carried data in both directions. FDT provided sustained total throughput of ~17 Gbps for disk to disk transfer using 10 pairs of small servers (each having 4 SATA HD configured in software raid0 and 1Gb/s network interface) in both directions.
