Abstract The CMS data acquisition system is designed to build and filter events from approximately 500 data sources with 1 MB total event size at an input rate of 100 kHz for an aggregate throughput of 100 GBytes/sec. This is achieved by building the events in two stages. The first stage uses Myrinet to preassemble 8 inputs into larger event fragments (super-fragments). The second stage builds the full events using Gigabit ethernet and the TCP/IP protocol. This design requires the PC systems connecting the Myrinet to ethernet to have a large throughput. These PC systems must read in 16 kB of event fragments, assemble them, and output them at 12.5 kHz, which corresponds to a throughput of 200 MBytes/sec. Performance studies show the PC systems are capable of twice this requirement. The DAQ system is currently being installed and will be commissioned in 2007. The network architecture, the current status, and the performance studies are presented.
