FTP Mirror Tracker: A Few Steps Towards URN
نویسندگان
چکیده
FTP Mirror Tracker1 is a software package (written in Perl and C++) that enables transparent, user-controlled redirection to the nearest anonymous FTP mirror sites that are exact replicas of the original source. This redirection can be achieved by using a Web Cache server or by making HTTP requests to the FTP Mirror Tracker directly. The Mirror Tracker also has internal URN support and can be used as a URN resolver for FTP requests. Underlying the system is a MySQL database recording FTP mirror site details. In this report we explain how this database is constructed, and show how it may be used – directly by end users, and under the policy based control of Web Cache and mirror service administrators.

متن کاملAutomatically Selecting a Close Mirror Based on Network Topology
The content of many popular ftp and web sites on the Internet are replicated at other sites, called ‘‘mirrors’’; typically, to decrease the network load at the original site, to make information available closer to its users for higher availability; and to decrease the bandwidth requirements these sites place on long-haul network connections, such as international and backbone links. Even thoug...
متن کاملParallelized FTP
The parallelized FTP (P-FTP) approach, attempts to solve the problem of slow downloads of large multimedia files while optimizing the utilization of mirror servers. The approach presented in this paper downloads a single file from multiple mirror servers simultaneously, where each mirror server transfers a portion of the file. The P-FTP server calculates the optimum division of the file for eff...

This paper reviews P´olya urn models and their connection to random trees. Basic results are presented, together with proofs that underly the historical evolution of the accompanying thought process. Extensions and generalizations are given according to chronology: • P´olya-Eggenberger’s urn • Bernard Friedman’s urn • Generalized P´olya urns • Extended urn schemes • Invertible urn schemes ...
متن کاملA Stable Random-Contact Algorithm for Peer-to-Peer File Sharing
We consider a BitTorrent type file sharing algorithm with randomized chunk copying process. The system functions in completely distributed way without any ’Tracker’, just relying on randomness. In such case the stability becomes an issue. It may happen, say, that some chunk becomes rare. This problem can persist and cause accumulation of peers in the system, resulting in unstable system. The co...
