Low Bandwidth Optimizations for Coda
نویسندگان
چکیده
An advanced distributed file system like Coda is an integral part of today’s mobile environment. This is due to the limitations of having large storage capacities on small mobile devices, finite battery life and the ubiquitous nature of wireless networking today. However, systems such as Coda do not perform optimally on low bandwidth connections such as low-speed error prone wireless links and modem connections. Thus, modifications are necessary to optimize Coda for such low bandwidth links. The goal of the project is to optimize communication between the Coda server and the Coda client on the mobile device, by reducing the amount of data transmitted and eliminating unnecessary message fields.

Removing Bottlenecks in Distributed Filesystems: Coda & InterMezzo as examples
Is it possible for a distributed filesystem to perform at the same speed as local disk filesystems, at least in important cases? This paper is trying to answer this question for traditional client-server distributed filesystems, not for distributed filesystems exploiting very fast networks and disk striping techniques. We claim the answer is ”yes”. Systems such as AFS, Sprite, Coda, Arla and DF...
متن کاملA Three-Tier Architecture for Ubiquitous Data Access
In this position paper we present a three-tier architecture of a middleware that addresses challenges facing accessibility, availability, and consistency of data in mobile environments. The architecture supports the automatic hoarding of data from multiple, heterogeneous sources into possibly a variety of different mobile devices. The middle tier enables the automation of synchronization tasks ...

متن کاملStudy of Virtual Machine Performance over Network File Systems
Important benefits of virtual machines have led to extensive research on using virtual machines over the networks to provide certain services, such as seamless computing. One solution to remotely access VMs is to use network file systems to store the VM image. In this context, knowing how VMs perform on network file systems is extremely relevant. We present a study of VM performance on network ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Cache Maintenance Scheme for Mobile Environment
In this paper we present a new cache maintenance scheme, called AS, suitable for wireless mobile environment. Our scheme integrates mobility management scheme of Mobile IP with cache maintenance scheme used in Coda file system. As opposed to broadcasting invalidation report schemes [1], AS supports arbitrary disconnection patterns and uses less wireless bandwidth. We present analytical and simu...
