My question is in regards to geolocation - does the CentOS mirror network only send us traffic from only Canada in theory? I haven't ran the stats in a long time to see where our CentOS mirror traffic is coming from.... > > Our network is quite capable of handling lots of US traffic for example and if there is a "flag" to be turned on to allow it then please do so... our network map is located at http://netops.nexicom.net/ No, it does not "ONLY" send traffic from Canada. We have an algorithm that looks for "close" countries too ... BUT ... "close" countries should only get used to fill out the mirrorlist to 20. Since we have way more mirrors than 20 in the US mirror list, there should be no US traffic to your mirror ... but it is possible that you might be listed in a less populated (by mirrors) country code. That is only speaking of our mirrorlist program ... we do not control rsyncs if you offer that, since those are controlled by the person setting up the rsync. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
