Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] peer-to-peer downloads (ECF)

[Alessandro Mottadelli <amottadelli@xxxxxxxx>]

Scott,
thanks for the pointer and info.

To implement the described use case (all clients in the lan need to pull 
something from the wan) I was thinking to something different (maybe 
simpler?) than mirroring.
My first idea was a sort of "cooperative download", that is each client 
ask its peers on the lan if they are already downloading a give file 
from the wan and eventually waits for the file to become available on 
the lan.
I don't (yet) have an in-depth knowledge of ECF, but -given its scope- 
my hope is that this scenario could be "easily" set up.

Does all this make sense?

Thanks and best regards,
Sandro
