Bounce

Distribute a file from one host to many host exponentially

means:

• distribute the file from provider to just one host,
• then using that host as a provider too, distribute the file to two hosts,
• four hosts
• …

Prerequisite

• Install Node and NPM on every host
• Configure iptables on every host to allow this happen (refers to helper/add-iptables-exception.sh)
• Figure out a way to start this process on every client host (refers to helper/start-bounce-on-client.sh)

Usage

• Start client:
  • $ node ./index.js <directory to store to file>
• Start server:
  • $ node ./index.js <file to distribute>

Quick Start

• Start bounce on every client hosts
  • You can use helper/start-bounce-on-client.sh
• Run server
  • $ node ./index.js <file to distribute>
