Re: [linux-audio-user] The Open Loop Library, a few questions

This is starting to get interesting. :) My responses are embedded below. Thanks. On Saturday, December 21, 2002, at 01:24 PM, Mark Knecht wrote: Thank you. There' still a lot of basic groundwork to lay out, but I think we're getting somewhere. Unfortunately, I can't really comment on every one of your points at the moment, as there are some other threads of thought going in those directions. That, and it's getting late for me. :) There is, however, one point I can address immediately... I have a line with a local colocation facility that will afford me upwards of 400GB of bandwidth for a reasonable cost (the back-of-the-envelope calculation was around $105 US). I also asked questions about their building, and the backbone connections they have (dual DS3s to two different backbones). I would have to buy parts and build a server, but that's not a big deal. Also, I was going to model this system roughly after CPAN, where there are many mirrors with a central index. You query the index, and it knows where to go get the file (or where to put it). You never have to know where the file is actually coming from. I don't think this would be too difficult to put together. As would I. I guess that's why I started this whole thing. :) I just hope I didn't bite off too much, what with moving and all. By the way, just to let everyone know, I may be incommunicado for a few days next week while the move occurs. Just FYI. Thanks! Regards, Darren Landrum
