We have an issue with the Asian mirror:

  • It is the sole Kiwix mirror in Asia
  • It mirrors everything
  • It thus handles ALL requests from Asia and Oceania
  • It has reached (on Oct 16th – 4 days in its billing month) its 25TiB transfer quota
  • It is thus (wasn't as of Oct 18th but probably already is) limited to 10mbps
  • The unlimited transfer option is apparently 400€/m (OVH India)

This will have the opposite effect of degrading performances for all Asia/Oceania users.

Here's the plan:

  • @rgaudin has already updated README to mention that mirrors should have unmetered traffic
  • @rgaudin will make Wikimedia mirror a global mirror
  • @kelson42 will contact WM to make sure the WM mirror is anycast (our tests shows stable result from around the globe). If not, @kelson42 will request WM to add another mirror from their DC in Asia
  • @rgaudin will configure an EU mirror to serve AS/OC regions
  • @Popolechien will make a public call for mirroring in Asia

Here's the changes I made to MB configuration:

  • mirror-sites-in.mblibrary.info is now not marked as India nor Asia. This prevents it from being selected for every request in Asia (and oceania)
  • mirror-sites-in.mblibrary.info is thus global with a custom score of 90 (so it's less requested than the other global mirrors)
  • dumps.wikimedia.org is still marked as US so we dont overload the CA mirror but it also answers any request
  • mirrors.dotsrc.org (Danemark) is now a global one as well to help with non-region load which is now Africa + Asia + Oceania. It's the EU mirror with all content that has the best speeds from India and Japan.

Note: MB was not happy (mirrors.html generation at least) with mirror not having a country so I set it to Antartica.
