just a note at the high level o anyone who thinks rsync is not gonna do well for the scaling we are likely to see in the next year+ is smoking some strong optimism. we're only at 5k objects today, three months into the game.
o but we do not know the long term scaling characteristics of the current rsync scheme. http etc are not likely to scale any better. o we could get much better rsync performance with a trivial change at the rirs. o we are currently constructing some measurement experiments. on the order of 500k to 1m roas. we need some points on the curve not bs and fud in powerpoint. o we are already playing with a bittorrent experiment for a number of reasons, mainly because its model is so different. you have seen the initial results. the code is open. o but we are suspicions and curious creatures, so folk are already discussing mechanisms for v2, mechanism agility, ... to be deployed in a year or three. we now return you to the ppt and fud channel of your choice. but i am sure the channel will be transported over dns and bgp. :) randy _______________________________________________ sidr mailing list sidr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sidr
