ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods to improve the speed, scalability, robustness and dynamism of data transfers to remote computers across a network are provided. The fully distributed data transfer and data replication protocol of the present invention permits transfers that minimize processing requirements on master transfer nodes by spreading work across the network. The result is higher scalability than current centralized protocols, which are static and cannot guarantee retention of replicated data and files. The present invention further provides for more dynamism and allows fault-tolerance by distribution of functionality. The ability to distribute data is simplified through asynchronous and autonomous data transfer.
