Sorry, that is laughable. Wikipedia's video is nothing compared to BitTorrent, YouTube, etc. Maybe, in some years it will catch up... > Does anyone know if any of the folks working on this (I know we have > some P2P-Next folks, or at least folks who are in touch with them) are > on the ALTO list?

I'm in touch with them. I think, regarding the data you need, at this moment it is way more practical to measure existing BitTorrent networks. There are lots of publications and data on the subject, including those made by P2P-Next people. Video on Wikipedia is sorta starting to take off, but in most of the cases, those are 5-10MB short animated illustrations. Infrastructure-wise, that is negligible. > On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 8:07 AM, Enrico Marocco > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi folks, >> >> in case someone has not noticed it yet, Wikimedia has just announced the >> adoption of a BitTorrent-based technology for distributing multimedia >> content in their websites, including Wikipedia: >> >> http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2010/09/video-labs-p2p-next-community-cdn-for-video-distribution/ >> >> I thought this may be of some interest for people on this list, both for the >> wide diffusion of the free content available on such websites, and as food >> for thought regarding the CDN use-case that has recently received quite >> attention around here. >> >> -- >> Ciao, >> Enrico >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> alto mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto >> >> > _______________________________________________ > alto mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto > -- Victor _______________________________________________ alto mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto
