Joost Network Architecture

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”
