Update Win10 in decompression! The global network burden is huge

Computer store news: Microsoft has finally begun to push Windows 10 updates globally, as long as the clock in each time zone has just arrived on July 29, a new wave of Windows updates will arrive as scheduled. However, because the Win10 system installation program itself is relatively large, the pressure on the network is obvious.

Foreign media Streaming Media quoted internal sources as saying that Microsoft has booked up to 40TB/s of bandwidth to key CDN vendors around the world. At 1 am Beijing time today, Microsoft said that they have consumed more than 10TB/s of bandwidth. At that time, only some countries in the world started Windows 10 push, so this index will continue to soar.

However, it is good for Microsoft to open the push according to the user's local time, which can avoid the short-term huge CDN pressure caused by the simultaneous opening of the world. The so-called CDN is a content distribution network built on the network. It relies on the edge servers deployed in various places, through the load balancing, content distribution, scheduling and other functional modules of the central platform, so that users can obtain the required content nearby, reduce network congestion and improve User access response speed and hit rate. The key technologies of the CDN are mainly content storage and distribution technologies.

The basic principle of CDN is to widely use various cache servers to distribute these cache servers to areas or networks where users are relatively concentrated. When users visit websites, they use global load technology to point users' accesses to distances. The most recent work on the normal cache server, the cache server directly responds to user requests.

For your reference, let's take an example of real life. The well-known Apple conference will also cause network congestion, but its CDN bandwidth peak is only 8TB /s, which means that Microsoft Windows 10 deployment consumes five times the bandwidth of Apple's conference.

This Win10 large-scale push is still in progress, and the process of completing this process quickly and steadily is the wish of every relevant user. After the push is completed, how to make the user install smoothly and solve various problems encountered during the installation process may be the first problem that Microsoft needs to solve next.
