Abstract:In this paper we propose Block Device Layer with Automatic Parallelism Tuning (BDL-APT), a mechanism that maximizes the goodput of heterogeneous IP-based Storage Area Network (IP-SAN) protocols in long-fat networks. BDL-APT parallelizes data transfer using multiple IP-SAN sessions at a block device layer on an IP-SAN client, automatically optimizing the number of active IP-SAN sessions according to network status. A block device layer is a layer that receives read/write requests from an application or a file s… Show more
