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."

    Not possible with the 1.x series of bursts.. as they're simply a wrapper around a hacked console-mode BT client.

    I'm currently working on burst 2, which will allow (at the very least) combined outgoing bandwidth throttling... incoming is a much different beast as you can't control the rate at which packets come in... and WinSock will start to dro packets if you don't retreive them quick enough *sigh*
