(and a rant) X-BeenThere: freebsd-hubs@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD Distributions Hubs: mail sup ftp List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 00:44:33 -0000 So from a mildly curious perspective on my part, what were the traffic=20 impacts from yesterday's 5.1-RELEASE event on (at least the Tier-1 mirrors)? =46rom our end we reached a sustained peak of ~150-170MB/sec for just over= =20 three hours mid-day yesterday (Pacific) before slowly tapering off (Mmmm, /= =2E=20 effect) Hope everyone involved loved slurping their ISO's :) BTW, we replaced the GigE card on the system from a Netgear to a Intel Sund= ay=20 night. Worked like a charm. One thing that's been bothering me ever since I started looking at the xfer= =20 logs (always a bad idea) ;) is seeing the number of mirror sites that slur= p=20 from us because... well, because we are ftp.freebsd.org. I see site after= =20 site banging away at us with mirror software from across the oceans (and=20 some big sites back on the US East Coast) where I know network wise, they=20 have other Tier-1 mirrors closer than to us (or to beastie.tdk.net)) So, I= =20 am tempted to add this to my "too many users" message. =2D=3D- Also, for all mirrors not mirroring directly from the master repository - Please choose a different host to mirror from. Look at the URL provided above, and note that all Tier 1 mirrors have exactly the same access to the master repository as ftp.FreeBSD.org. There is no reason to stress trans-continental (or trans-oceanic) links just to say that you sync up with ftp.FreeBSD.org, when you might have a Tier 1 mirror located right next door that has the same access to the master repository and likely has a faster transfer rate to you. It's for your own good - really ;-) =2D=3D- Not that I suspect those automated mirror scripts will read/care, but it=20 makes me feel better... :) =2DPeter =2D-=20 Peter_Losher@isc.org | ISC | OpenPGP 0xE8048D08 | "The bits must flow"
