Client Level Framework for Parallel Downloading of Large File Systems
G.Narasinga Rao, Srinivasan Nagaraj · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2010
In this paper, Mirror sites enable client requests to be serviced by any of a number of servers, reducing load at individual servers and dispersing network load.Typically a client requests service from a single mirror site.We suggest a way for the client to access a file from multiple mirror sites in parallel to speed up the download.We have developed a technique that can deliver dramatic speedups as well as fault tolerance.Our approach doesn"t require a feedback from the client to the servers, thus speeding up the process even more.
