With the explosion of high speed last-mile access, high speed data delivery
has become challenging for many service providers.  In particular, services
such as Usenet are challenging due to the excessive growth model and the
popularity of content such as binaries, which present significant technical
and cost obstacles.

This talk will discuss the practical application of network-oriented 
techniques to provide a relatively inexpensive, distributed, fault-tolerant
design for providing Usenet service, which can be scaled up to handle
nearly arbitrarily large numbers of users.

While specifically geared towards Usenet news, many of the ideas and
concepts described in this talk will apply well to other related areas
where data delivery is a challenge.  In particular, the model is very
well suited to web caching services.
