Colm Maccarthaigh gave a presentation about the design of the Joost network.
You can view the presentation by following this link: http://www.stdlib.net/~colmmacc/slides/Joost-network.pdf
The highlights of the presentation are:
- No firewalls
- No hardware load-balancers
- High availability (this is TV)
- Lots of bandwidth (this is TV)
- Ethernet only
- Rapidly provisionable
- Business requirements
- Cost-effective
- Joost servers are the original seeders
of all content - Joost servers also handle the “long-
tail” (which is still pretty long) - Joost servers “top-up” the DSL
“bandwidth gap”
