CDN

Content Delivery Network, the new process for delivering SL content, is moving forward. Today, Monday (10/6), the Lindens will be looking at data on how well CDN was working for the 273 regions in AGNI now using CDN.

Just a few days before only 28 regions were in the Snack server channel. So, this is almost a 10 fold increase in regions in just a couple of days.

Group Chat

A new problem came up with Group Chat. This is the out of ports problem. The Lindens currently think port scanning was causing the problem. They are unclear on whether it was malicious or ignorant. But, they have deployed what they think is a fix. So, far it seems to be working. This means they can return to the task of fixing chat lag.

The fix has been rolling out slowly. Oz thinks all the chat servers will have port fix by end of day today.
