gentoo mirrors stats: a rsync.gentoo.org box

[robbat2]

I was doing some statistics about Gentoo mirrors to see about future plans, and thought that the indirect crowd that read my blog via the various aggregators might be interested in numbers.

These are the traffic for boobie.gentoo.org, which is a newer box in the official rsync.gentoo.org box directly maintained by the Infrastructure team. Hardware specs are 2x Xeon 3050 @2.13Ghz, 4GB RAM. Disk is mostly irrelevant - the rsync workload is served purely from RAM (tail-packing reiserfs, backed via loop device pointing to a file on tmpfs).

Inbound traffic is spiky, but does not exceed 10Mbit by more than a little bit - we can the inbound rsyncs from the rsync1 master to 10Mbit. Outbound traffic varies between 4Mbit and 9Mbit, with an average around 6-7Mbit.
