Re: digest only peering?

Sorry about my english.

At CICA we're testing sibling relationships with some of the cache
servers in our network using cache-digest and not icp.

Up to now the results are quite promising: we have a cache-digest-hit
rate close to 2% for each one of the experimental siblings, the
false-hit rate is, approximately, 30%, and the icp traffic is (of
course) 0.

It is worth noting that false hits are not a big issue in our setup,
since
all the hosts share the same connection to the rest of the Internet.
