Coral P2P Cache Enters Public Beta

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-scale dept.

Eloquence writes "infoAnarchy reports that Coral, a peer-to-peer webcaching system, has gone into public beta. Currently the Coral node network is hosted on Planet-Lab, a large scale distributed research network of 400 servers. You can use Coral right now by appending "nyud.net:8090" to a hostname. View Slashdot through Coral. Is this the end of the Slashdot effect?"
