Hi,
well, (news)peering is basically just sending articles to another. And in this group we discuss peering, but also request newsfeeds (a stream of articles). The practice peers do exchange a feed is called peering.
Possibly based on constraints (everything, big8, only alt.obscure). And in
my case I just distribute everything I receive to others. But also posts originated on my own server.
That's about it, really. Detailed questions about how to configure innd
can be asked in news.software.nntp.
Does that answer your questions?
hello -
i have been working on rolling my own news server and want to do
better understanding how exactly usenet functions instead of just
standing up innd.
i was trying to understand if peering exactly was documented anywhere,
so i wanted to ask if it was based on rfc 4644, or if there are other
sort of considerations i should keep in mind while setting it up.
i could (and prob will) just read the innfeed source, but wanted to
double check that i was on the right track
thanks
