More bandwidth!
Today we’ll be moving closer to the practical limits of Full-Duplexed 100Base-TX, as our bandwidth limit [1] will be increased to 80 Mbps. Faster site, cool! The best part? The additional 10 Mbps are FREE since bandwidth costs typically go down every year, we’re getting an extra 10 Mbps for no extra cost. And not a moment too soon, either. Looking at my weekly bandwidth graph, it seems we’ve riding the 70-meg limit lately. Not a day goes by where I don’t thank QoS for allowing us to prioritize CVS and website traffic over downloads. Friends of Eclipse downloads are also prioritized over regular downloads.
With the added capacity, we’ll actually be saving money, as I won’t need to increase bandwidth for EclipseCON, or for those large releases that typically strain our infrastructure. There’s no escape from Ganymede, however, which will require us to bring in much, much more.
[1] I use the term bandwidth when I should be talking about throughput.

Hi Denis,
So what do you mean about the Friends of Eclipse downloads being prioritized? Are there really entries for the FOE (nice acronym) people individually? Just curious.

Scott, one needs to be logged into the friends site (http://dev.eclipse.org/site_login/). Once a FoE (better acronym?) is logged in, the Friends mirror shows up as the first mirror on the list. That mirror’s bandwidth is high-priority.

Hi Denis,
how much of the traffic is Mylyn? And what version? I hope after 2.2, as that can do content negotiation for gzip.
Remember bug 205416 about gzipping the config?
It seems time to revisit that and start using it

Haven’t had a chance to look at that, Maarten. Sorry.
