Remote File Synchronization Single-Round Algorithms
Deepak Kumar Gupta, Kalpna Sagar · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2010
Remote file synchronization has been studied extensively over the last decade, and the existing approaches can be divided into single-round and multi-round protocols.Single-round protocols are preferable in scenarios involving small files and large network latencies (e.g., web access over slow links) due protocol complexity and computing and I/O overheads.The best-known algorithms which are used for synchronization of file systems across machines are rsync, set reconciliation, Remote Differential Compression & RSYNC based on erasure codes.In this paper we will discuss the remote file synchronization protocols and compare the performance of all these protocols on different data sets.
