Friday Meeting
We met Friday after RCOS (Ben, Joe, Rob) to discuss much of the high level protocols.
We've come to the following conclusions thus far:
- Updates must be represented in such a manner that all peers updating to a specific revision are able to easily communicate pieces which they need/have.
- Deltas can reduce bandwidth on the tracker for all active mirrors (not more than a week out of date).
- Roughly 100MB of overhead is necessary to represent the Ubuntu archive (according to our research into the RCOS mirror).
As far as language choice goes, we are using either C/C++ (to be decided upon soon). We probably will depend upon protocol buffers, and either openssl or nss.
Our project thus far is mainly on paper/whiteboard. We're hoping to put in hours coding in the next few weeks (once protocols are settled upon).
