Michael and Stefano, I agree for making GSoC proposal. Could you write it for client-side apt modification?
I understand we need client side apt optimization. New apt client can use more optimized protocol than HTTP/FTP. However, I think server side mirror selection is still important. Because, server side mirror selection help for - initial system installation. - current and old debian. - user under NAT - user under restricted network. I try to write GSoC proposal for serer-side cdn.debian.net modification.
