Default Fedora private mirrors for Sri Lanka

Hi All,

Currently I'm handling Free-media project for Sri Lanka, and Maintaining Sinhala language for the Fedora.
But I relized that Free-media project is not a total solution for a distribution.
Sometimes we are busy with our work. And the Form activation is only one day per month.

But still Free-media project is good. But we can go ahead.

I have proposed to Sri Lanka Linux community to have private mirrors on each and every university.
Its the 1st phase. As the the 2nd phase putting Fedora mirror on the Sri Lanka School-net, thats is the official VPN for all the schools in Sri Lanka.


Please provide a rough idea of space, connectivity and bandwidth assuming a test case like this.

you host latest stable release
synchronize every two weeks
100 regular users per university

My ultimate target is to cover each and every academic and region IT centers in Sri Lanka.

Appreciate you earliest response.

Regards,

Thats is a very nice idea. Hope we can replicate it here too.

[root@mirror ~]# du -h /var/www/html/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/ | tail -n 1
69G /var/www/html/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/
[root@mirror ~]# du -h /var/www/html/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/ | tail -n 1
18G /var/www/html/pub/fedora/linux/updates/8/


> synchronize every two weeks
Around 2-3Gbs but may vary according to times update pushed.
(Total for i386 and x86_84)


> 100 regular users per university

Thats a tricky question.
If you have a mirror at each university, then that will cater to all
the internal needs.
And if you do restrict serving only to your country there should not
be too much external traffic.
(If you don't, expect *all* bandwidth to be consumed, no matter how
big your pipe is.)
We have a public mirror here and we got 1 million requests in 12 days !!!

[root@mirror ~]# cat /var/log/messages|grep vsftpd|grep CONNECT|wc -l
1051827
[root@mirror ~]# uptime
13:31:05 up 11 days, 19:11, 2 users, load average: 0.17, 0.48, 0.36

The full Fedora 8 install tree is 88GB, including the ppc arch and

debuginfo packages, which you may not need. *If only carrying i386 and

x86_64, and no debuginfo, it's 39GB.



The updates tree for Fedora 8 is another 47GB including ppc and

debuginfo, 16GB if not.



The releases tree changes only every 6 months (excluding test

releases). *The updates tree should be synced daily.



Budgeting 200GB for Fedora 9 is not too much, especially as we've been

growing the releases over time. *I expect the full install tree to be

120GB, and over time the updates tree will grow as it has with Fedora

8.



We have no public mirrors registered for Sri Lanka, and would

appreciate having some. *We have only 2 public mirrors in India

(presumably where your users are pulling from today).
yeah,
We I am planning proposed to www.sltidc.lk for a public mirror.*






As for bandwidth required, we recommend no less than 10Mbit/sec, and

prefer 100Mbit/sec or higher if available. *Often times educational

networks will have even higher available bandwidth inside a single

university or between universities.


Now all major universities are connected to LEARN network (University VLAN ) via a Optical Fiber having a bandwidth of at least 10Mbps.
And hope to host internal mirror at one of the University and others can sync from that.

That would be fantastic.
