Once the file(s) are been copied to a +remote server, that server will be promoted to be used as source +server for copying to remaining servers. Thus, the rate of transfer +increases exponentially rather than linearly. + +Servers can be specified in groups (e.g. datacenter) to prevent +copying across groups. This maximizes the number of transfers done +over a local high-speed connection (LAN) while minimizing the number +of transfers over the WAN. + +The number of multiple simultaneous transfers per source point is +configurable. The total number of simultaneously forked processes is +limited via Proc::Queue, and is currently hard coded to 32. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-CascadeCopy/ |
