Hey Mike.

Agreed. But the scale of a 400 page document with global interest? Should
be highly cached with a good ratio of served to pull bits. I'm willing to
bet you a beer its just another day on the Internet. However, I could be
wrong. Hope to see you in DC to collect! I already know Brett is in. :)

Best,

Check the nANOG archives for examples of whitehouse.gov, cia.gov etc. It
certainly is.

of course p2p is the way to distribute this but i doubt the justice
department can admit there is any positive legitimate use for p2p.

(i’ve been surprised that it hasn’t made it to wikileaks or bittorrent
yet.  “russiar, are you listening?”)

(i sure hope there’s a signed version or at least a hash.)

i predict there will be versions with fake content, missing content, and
malware inserted that are distributed as well.




and i’ll bet there will be some infected pdf version as well distributed
that way.

And we may still see the web stack being the ultimate cause of the delay.


Parkinson's law always comes to the rescue:-)
More faster and efficient processing architecture, Hyper transport buses,
amd-64 Branch prediction.
Massively faster storage subsystems and disk arrays, SSD slab caching for
hypervisors

And some dude with a AJAX framework to serve a PDF bringging the whole
thing to a a screeching halt

Yep, it will be interesting to see where the chokepoints are tommorrow.

In 1998, the bandwidth pipes never filled up. The chokepoint was in the

TCP and Web stacks. Eventually the Associated Press got a copy of the
Starr Report on a CD from a congressional staffer. The press intern
running down the street holding a CD was faster than 1998 internet :-)

We were also lucky in 1998, no one had thought of DDOS yet.
