This paper reports the design, implementation, and performance of a scalable and efficient tool to replicate Internet information services. Our tool targets replication degrees of tens of thousands of weakly-consistent replicas scattered throughout the Internet's thousands of autonomously administered domains. The main goal of our replication tool is to make existing replication algorithms scale in today's exponentially-growing, autonomouslymanaged internetworks.
