JoostTeam

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”
