Measuring Codex Performance for Content Delivery

Measuring Codex Performance for Content Delivery

One of the key aspects of storage systems is download (retrieval) performance. Keeping tabs on performance and making sure we are at least on par with existing, widely deployed peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution systems is therefore among one of our primary goals and, in that sense, Bittorrent arguably makes for
