How stable is the CDN when the each node lifetime is 5 minutes? The likelihood of an ongoing request being cut off is fairly high. Nodes are also constantly in syncing state I assume.
- grun 5y agoVery! The lifetime of nodes is actually quite a bit longer than 5 minutes as the tab doesn't need to be foregrounded (which Google Analytics and others report as the end of the 'session'). That, and when a node comes online, it joins the network with the cache contents it had filled previously. So it joins the network warm, not cold and needing to be filled.
- zimbatm 5y agoInteresting. Is the cache shared between all the websites that install this product? What happens to a HTTP request to a browser whenever they close their tab, is it retried on another browser?
