CDNs aren't really software problems. They're infrastructure and network peering problems. I think all the software required is in Debian, but the data centers, peering arragements, route advertisements, and so forth are things that only make sense to do at a larger scale than a single project. We can do a home-brewed CDN -- that, after all, is what the various services referenced in the original message are. But one of the commercial CDNs will have better performance and better load distribution than one can do with software-only solutions without the peering setup and data center distribution. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
