A Blog With Unlimited Bandwidth (Beta 1.2)

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the unlimited-is-a-lot dept.

jcr13 writes "konspire2b is a new content distribution system that essentially turns the standard p2p model upside down. This simple change gives the network several nice properties, including log-bounded distribution times (logarithmic in the number of nodes that receive a file) and a refreshingly different (and somewhat blog-like) user-interaction model. Comparisons have been made to other systems, including BitTorrent (with in-depth analysis), but k2b stands alone as a unique system tackling a different problem than other p2p systems. Recent Slashdot attention gave the network an effective stress test and provided the first real-world measurement results. The new beta1.2 release contains fixes for all of the issues encountered during this traffic surge."

    essentially turns the standard p2p model upside down

    I thought b2b was already old hat?

    Oh, completely upside down? b5b, yep that is new but what the heck does it mean?

    The point here is that this is designed for situations where tens of thousands of people all want the same content at the same time

  4. it depends on the axis of the turn by DrSkwid · · Score: 5, Funny

    if the axis of rotation was the x (horizontal) axis then indeed it would be

    d5d

    however if the axis of rotation was either of the remaing axes then the result would be

    b5b

      We need to work on our visualization skills; on /. there will always be a pedant to "help". In this case it's me.

      If our axes are:

      y
      |
      |
      |
      L________ x
      /
      /
      /
      z

      Then rotating b2b around:

      X --> 959, or q5q depending on if you're retaining relative position of the characters

      Y --> d5d

      Z --> 959, or q5q, once again depending on whether or not you're retaining relative position.

      We'll skip the possible iterations of mirroring this time around ;)
