-* citric-acid (250 Mbps)
-The list of mirrors can be found in caffeine:/var/www/mirrors.txt the web server selects a random mirror from this list at each file request. We now run [[SNMP|Net-SNMP]] on all of our hosts, so we have real-time access to network and cpu load data. We should therefore be able to write a more intelligent mirror selection script. We also use mirror.cs to mirror on-campus.
-We are currently looking at [[QoS|QoS tagging]] to throttle our bandwidth.
