cascade-style distribution of files over a LAN
-
Hello All, I'm developing a distributed data processing system that requires frequent synchronization of a large file base (~4 GB in approx. 40000 files) among 10 or more workstations. The master file base is created on one of the workstations, and has to be distributed to the other ones over a local network. To avoid a bottleneck of simultaneous downloading files from a single workstation, I would like to create a peer-to-peer protocol that would allow redirecting the download request received by the master workstation to another workstation which has already downloaded a given file. Which technology of those available in the .NET Framework should I employ for that purpose?
Best regards, BB http://bartoszbien.com

Have a look at Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
