Thanks,
I will keep monitoring discovery/mirroring work.

However, I am unsure on how this can fit the bill. How smart is mirroring?
Let say that we have two clients on the LAN, both of them mirroring a 
1.0 central repository. They wake up in the morning and discover that 
the central repository is now at version 1.1.  What will they do?  If 
both of them start downloading stuff from the WAN to go to version 1.1, 
then - in this scenario - having local mirrors will not help.


Best regards,
Sandro

[equinox-dev] [prov] peer-to-peer downloads (ECF)

[Alessandro Mottadelli]

Will p2/ECF enable peer to peer downloads?

The scenario I'm thinking of is a Branch that has to upgrade to a new 
release of the application. It would make a lot of sense to have just 
one (or two) machine act as gateway to the wan and have the others get 
the upgrade from the lan.

This should work without configuration overhead (spontaneously!)

Thanks and best regards,
Sandro
