Hi all, I am a member of debian mirror administration team in Japan. I announce I start cdn.debian.net.
At 2008-Feb-05, we had started "cdn.debian.org" on global Debian Mirrors. This CDN checks your hosts DNS query to retrive your national location. - If your located country has Debian Mirror, return this mirror site IP address. - If your located continent has Debian Mirror, return this mirror site IP address. - If CDN can not find your location, return one of Japan mirror. - This CDN checks debian rsync mirror process. If mirror site is mirroring, CDN hides this site. Usage: Please use following apt line in /etc/apt/sources.list. deb http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ sid main contrib non-free deb-src http://cdn.debian.net/debian/ sid main contrib non-free Of course, you can change from 'sid' to etch/lenny/stable/unstable.... Technology and Codes: At first, CDN find requester IP's location by Max-mind DB. Max-mind DB is same DB file for geoip-bin.deb package. At 2nd, CDN checks nation/continent rsync footprint on each mirrors. In order to avoid dead/old/partial mirror. At last, CDN return nation/continent IP address by DNS-balance (http://openlab.jp/dns_balance/dns_balance.html) History: - From July 2007, cdn.debian.or.jp was distributing debian mirror by With dead/alive chcked wighted Round-Robin CDN in some debian mirroring sites in Japan. - From Oct 2007, ftp.jp.debian.org use this. - Feb. 2008, ftp.jp.debian.org return your world nearest site by MaxMind. Call for Paticipate: Now only three DD (these three are Japan residents only) write code and manage system. Actually, we don't have kowledge of all resion/country/continent networks. Please help us and all of Debian APT users! If you have some idea, question and suggestion, please contact me. Of course, I welcome to talk about this in debian-devel!. All codes are maintained by SVN at https://osdn.debian.or.jp/repos/cdn/trunk/. Code licence is GPL. I think these codes are usable for other purposes.
