Here are the results of two very productive weeks of work. It will also include our work on Software Defined Network (SDN) — our first step towards Programmable Internet.

Work on SDN:

1. Currently working on NOIA Agent implementation which will be as a wrapper between NOIA Controller API and Server VPP;

2. Creating NOIA Controller UI/UX;

3. Improving NOIA BI algorithms with various test models on random topologies;

4. We’ve already designed and built our first backbone between US — EU, EU — Hong Kong — China;

5. We’ve also added more documentation on NOIA Platform and SDN. You can find it on our documentation page.

Work on NOIA Cache:

1. Improvements on NOIA GUI:

Bug fixes:

-Imported bug fix;

-Webpack module concatenation was disabled.

Features:

-Button “File explorer” to node.settings file;

-Button “Help” explanation on how to configure node.settings.

Changes:

-Minimum allocated storage requirement by default is 100mb;

-NAT-PMP enabled by default.

You can download the new GUI here.

2. We’ve successfully gone through our new content caching algorithm (NOIA Nodes Smart Cache) testing phase. Nodes can now share content between themselves without the need to send it through the master. It used to be that all content sent to the nodes was cached by a master. This used to be a huge technological challenge as it would usually cause bottlenecks and require too much bandwidth to the master. Now that the nodes can share content between themselves makes the network way more efficient, well-distributed and much faster.

3. NOIA Cache will be used by another new client — View.ly — a video platform, aiming to provide adless viewing experience as well as fair and efficient monetization models for content creators.

4. You can now use NOIA Cache to deliver your Drupal’s webpage content. Drupal is a content management software used to make many of the websites and applications you use every day.

It’s created by an open-source Drupal community — more than 1,000,000 developers, designers, trainers, strategists, coordinators, editors, and sponsors all working together.

And one more thing for all CLI users:

Here’s a mini guide for updating your node to v.1.0.8

It also explains how can you configure your noia.settings file.

Stay tuned for further updates and keep your nodes running — IEO is getting closer!
