Xen Community:
As you are aware, the Xen Cloud Platform has been available
for download since last November and is becoming a very successful release for
Xen.org. In fact, we are seeing substantial network traffic for this
solution as we had 26 TB of data from XCP downloads in the past 4 weeks. Of
course, this amount of traffic is forcing a re-examination of our co-location
agreements as we are moving toward the limit of our monthly bandwidth and may
face substantial increases in costs as XCP continues to find new users.
I have a proposal to move the XCP iso images to bittorrent
for downloads, thereby reducing the bandwidth pressure on the Xen.org website. I
am looking for community feedback on this idea and look forward to your
thoughts.
Thank you.
