Hi all,
I hope this is the right forum for this :).
I hope to be able to implement the gittorrent client/ tracker during
GoogleSoc (if chosen :) ). I have been reading up on various git docs
and listserv messages to figure out what features I want in it in
addition to the basics. I have been concentrating especially on how to
minimise tracker load.
I was thinking about enabling avahi in the clients so that they can
find peers without putting that much extra load on the tracker.
A small caveat is that avahi timeout is around 50ms, so this sort of
dynamic peer discovery would probably turn out to work effectively
only among clients in the same LAN. However, best case scenario is
clients in the same LAN would have only a couple of clients talking to
the tracker and spreading the data(as well as peer list etc) in their
LAN.
To me, this feature seems be worth implementing if enough git users
are in the same LAN trying to get at a certain git repository.
What do you guys think ?
