RE: Some complement about Tracker-tracker communication

Tracker-Tracker communication already has some implementation in
real-world environments.

BNBT based trackers running on versions 7.3, 7.7, and 8.0 have the
capability (with the consent of the administrators of both trackers)
to share ALL peer data.

I personally operate a 5-way (not including the dedicated hub) linked
tracker network. There are indeed several steps to take at the start
to insure proper peer data sharing, but most have been documented at
http://cbtt.depthstrike.com/trackerlinks. Additionally, deployment
guidelines have been documented there as well.

I have been working on a php implementation of automated editing of
tracker information within .torrent files and returning them to
clients (in an effort to simplify my own tracker network's use).

Subject: [BitTorrent] Some complement about Tracker-tracker
communication



The torrent file contains tracker address and file hash, which are
the
only useful infomation torrent file contains. Trackers can identify
different torrent file by checking file hash, and Merkle Tree hash is
short enough for quick identification. If we can turn to wide
deployment of Merkle Tree as soon as possible, I think
tracker-tracker
communication will be very easy to implement.

Scalability is good, because capacity can effectively be improved by
simply adding additional trackers.

Thank you.

PS: I haven't seen my first post till now. God knows when I can,
maybe
tomorrow... How do you guys use this list? I think the web interface
is not good enough. RSS, either. Thank you.
