If you have anything to share regarding bandwidth/download numbers, please tell me.
My case is that it seemed like all traffic was directed to the novell site, with a prio of 500, outweighting our 1 gbit/s site prio of 100. there were some downloads but not that much. The irony was that our site at ftp.klid.dk was about 10 times as fast as the novell site.
maybe the novell site also took over quite some traffic in other countries.
cdn.novell.com is actually Akamai.
yes, that is understood. So they should have bandwidth. But it seems like Akamai does not perform nearly as good as some of the volunteer mirrors.
Indeed, that's what I observed at previous openSUSE release. Akamai seems to invest precisely only as much bandwidth as is needed to keep people marginally happy (and their service certainly works), but they won't make people as happy as a network of fast mirrors do. So during the first day, many users have to download from "decently performing" Akamai network, while they certainly could get stuff faster from a mirror. But then again, it's probably still fast enough for most people that they don't bother too much.
Anyway what will a prio of 500 meqan compared to a prio of 100+ Would it mean that in a round-robin queue that the 500 prio site would be chosen 5 times as frequently as a 100 prio site? (500/100 = 5).
It's not a linear relationship, and it depends on the rest of the mirrors that are selected for a client. 500/100 would roughly be the result in your case, if you are the only Danish mirror and there is one other (with prio 500). The higher the prio, the more requests get assigned to a mirror. Peter
