✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The benchmarks executed using NRP hosts cover various file sizes, parallel streams, clients from various distances, and standalone clients to track XRootD and Pelican performance in different scenarios.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that tests on National Research Platform hosts with specific clients and distances are representative of real-world OSDF usage scenarios.

C3one line summary

Benchmarks of XRootD performance under different configurations provide recommendations for best practices in the Open Science Data Federation.
