Durante el 2009 junto Alejandro "alecu" Cura (SugarLabs Argentina)
gestionamos espacio para un "Mirror in Argentina for SugarLabs".
¿ Podríamos intentar de usar los mismo recursos ?
¿ Saben si el mirror esta funcionando ?

Hola gacq,

según lo que nos responden, se puede hacer un mirror para Argentina, o
un mirror para Sudamérica.
El tráfico actual para sudamérica es de 200gb por mes.
Para argentina, estiman que es de 5gb por mes.

No tengo idea que disponibilidad habrá en usla, pero si te parece
podríamos empezar siendo mirror para Argentina, y luego vamos viendo.

saludos,

The way we set this up is for all traffic to initially go to the Sugar
Labs data centre.  From there it is redirect to mirrors according to
some rules.

1. Global -
2. Continent -
3. Country -
4. ASN -

Working backward--
Autonomous System Number - Traffic will only go to a specific network.

Country - Traffic will only go to site which geoIP identify as being
in a particular country.  The is how we set up Australia and Paraguay.
 Australians pay a surcharge for traffic which enters of leaves there
country.  Paraguay has some flaky international links. We can give
them the best user experience by running a mirror in Paraguay which
serves users inside the county.

I would estimate that a mirror limited to Argentinian users would
serve about 5GB per month

Continent - Traffic will go to anywhere in South America.  Current
traffic for SA is about 200GB per month.

Global - SA is a net consumer of Sugar Bandwidth. Argentina would fill
its share of the load meeting SA's needs so nothing would be sent to
the rest of the world.

On a global basis, our traffic is doubling every three months .  I
think Argentina's growth is slightly above that for the last couple of
months.

So, depending on you available bandwidth and internet connections, I
would suggest either country (5GB per month) or content (200GB per
month)
