RE: Is this the end of the internet known to us? - NOIA network

I just finally got some time to read your post very carefully and I loved it :)

Thanks to you finally I know how far is Malaysia from my home country hahaha

I've been in touch with guys from NOIA for quite some time already and indeed this is clearly one of those projects that are worth our trust and attention.

CDN is a system of servers dispersed across the world whose main purpose is to store the content of the websites for later retrieval. Whenever computer sends a request to the particular website, it will be connected to the closest CDN server instead of the main server

That is indeed fascinating. Would you mind telling me how do those servers synchronize content?

Great review buddy
Piotr

I appreciate your constant support very much @crypto.piotr :)

That is indeed fascinating.

You are right. I haven't even been aware of CDNs existence before preparing this post.

Would you mind telling me how do those servers synchronize content?

Really interesting question. I generally suppose that CDN servers don't need to synchronize content very fluently and quickly. The most extreme situation I can imagine that demands a lot of content syncing is a real time gaming. However, even in this case players are usually divided between particular CDNs according to their location, so I think that synchronization between them doesn't need to be very fast.

However, they certainly do it sometimes. This process is called replication and means that each server sends new data to the main server (for example statistics of players in a particular real-time game). Then, the main server creates some unified version of whole content and sends 'actualization' back to the servers.

This comment is based on my own assumptions and some quick research, so I am not sure if it is accurate ;)
