-In addition to visitors using WebTorrent to share the load among them, instances can help each other by caching one another's videos. This way even small instances have a way to show content to a wider audience, as they will be shouldered by friend instances (more about that in our <a href="/support/doc/redundancy.md">redundancy guide</a>).

-#### Backend
-
- * REST API:
- * OpenAPI 3.0.0 schema: [/support/doc/api/openapi.yaml](/support/doc/api/openapi.yaml)
- * HTML explorer: [docs.joinpeertube.org/api.html](http://docs.joinpeertube.org/api.html)
- * Servers communicate with each other with [Activity
- Pub](https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/).
- * Each server has its own users who query it (search videos, query where the
- torrent URI of this specific video is...).
- * When a user uploads a video, the server sends its followers metadata about the video (name, short description, torrent URI...).
- * A server is a tracker responsible for all the videos uploaded on it.
- * Even if nobody watches a video, it is seeded by the server (through
- [WebSeed protocol](http://www.bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0019.html)) where the
- video was uploaded.

-# Redundancy
-
-A PeerTube instance can cache other PeerTube videos to improve bandwidth of popular videos or small instances.
-
-## How it works
-
-The instance administrator can choose between multiple redundancy strategies (cache trending videos or recently uploaded videos etc), set their maximum size and the minimum duplication lifetime.
-Then, they choose the instances they want to cache in `Manage follows -> Following` admin table.
-
-<p align="center">
-
-<img src="user/redundancy.png" alt="Redundancy" />
-
-</p>
-
-Videos are kept in the cache for at least `min_lifetime`, and then evicted when the cache is full.
-
-When PeerTube chooses a video to duplicate, it imports all the resolution files (to avoid consistency issues) using their magnet URI and put them in the `storage.videos` directory.
-Then it sends a `Create -> CacheFile` ActivityPub message to other federated instances. This new instance is injected as [WebSeed](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/FAQ.md#what-is-webseed) in the magnet URI by instances that received this ActivityPub message.
