Hi,
We always used akamai the first hours after release, but it's not only very complex to maintain, it was also said that it is not needed and might even harm.
So I would like to know if you think we can do without for 11.4
I really doubt your mirrors cannot give good service even at peak times... In our case we could deliver 20x more without problem. In Europe you have excellent mirrors that users will have a hard time to saturate.
One advantage of Akamai is their global presence. It´s important to have the servers as close (from a latency POV) as possible to the clients.
Not really. Latency is important when you want to get many different files, and interactively. For opensuse downloads, which are mostly dvds, latency isn't important, only throughput is. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mirror+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: mirror+help@opensuse.org
