Some might be interest to know what is making up Joost main content distribution datacenter.
Joost video content is provided from Luxembourg. Joost current throughput on the internet is of 2.5 gigabits per second.
Joost servers providing the video content are running a mix of Solaris 10 and Ubuntu Linux on Sun Fire X2200 servers.
The Sun servers are dual connected to a series of Cisco 3560G-24TS switch.
The switches eventually uplink to a Cisco 7301 router. (The Cisco 7301 router is the industry’s highest performance single rack unit router with million packets per second processing. With 3 built-in Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (copper or optical). The Cisco 7300 Series is optimized for flexible, feature rich IP/MPLS services.)
The Luxembourg datacenter is connected with a range of relay points all around the world to support the system.
A series of 40 new servers (maybe more) arrived at Joost datacenter on March 2nd 2007. Presumably those will allow for Joost to scale to a much larger number of beta testers.
A cluster of cheap EPIA mini-ITX boxes make up the actual 96-node p2p test Joost cluster.
So you have it… all I know about the Joost networking configuration and usage.
