A Look Inside the BBC's Network

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bits-bytes-and-accents dept.

the-dark-kangaroo writes "The BBC have provided the entire internet with a look inside their amazing network. It shows everyone the almighty web power they are with over 40 webservers and 12 firewalls and their 8Gbps intersite connections. All this seems to running some form of *NIX with perl underlying their powerful website delivery. Take a look at those load graphs!"

    Don't worry. slashdot seems to have reduced their bandwidth to a complete crawl.

    Of course, mere page serving might not have been their goal, rather the ability to pump streams of content out.

    Perhaps for all this technology the server we're hitting is a powerbook 190 hidden on a closet.

    NPR is not "official US government news" by any stretch.

    Neither is PBS. Nixon, for one, tried to basically shut it down unless they killed most/all of their political programming. The saying was "More zebras or less zeroes": pictures of wildlife are pretty PC no matter who's in power.

    For that matter, neither is BBC. Get an education, troll.
