[Planetlab-users] a question about planet lab

[KyoungSoo Park]

There are three content distribution network projects
currently running on PlanetLab.

Coral CDN: http://www.coralcdn.org/
CoDeeN CDN: http://codeen.cs.princeton.edu/
CobWeb CDN: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/beehive/cobweb/

They consist of semi-open proxies with a number of mechanisms
to prevent the most common Web abuse, but sometimes some
of the initial abusive requests make through.

The easiest way to find which CDN is being used to contact
your server is to go to Webpage of the PlanetLab node, and
search the traffic. For example, if you saw requests coming
from planetlab-1.cs.princeton.edu, go to
http://planetlab-1.cs.princeton.edu/ and search the traffic.

Could you please let me know your site domain name? I'm the
project lead of the CoDeeN CDN, and I can add yours to our
banned list so that your site won't be accessible through
CoDeeN any more.

Thanks,
KyoungSoo
