    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure belong to the data processing field and disclose a method and apparatus for data transmission. The method comprises sending a first request to a server in response to a first file locally cached having expired. The first request is for obtaining a first file in a new version, and the first request containing a first version identifier. The first version identifier being for indicating a version of the first file locally cached. Receiving a first response includes difference information and a second version identifier. The difference information makes it possible to obtain the first file in the new version based on the first file locally cached, and the second version identifier is for indicating the new version. The first file in the new version is obtained based on the difference information and the first file locally cached. Using the technical solution provided by the present embodiment(s), pressures on network transmission are reduced.

  • Patent number: 9128629
    Abstract: Techniques are described for copying data using a throttling mechanism to achieve a desired time delay. A request is received to copy a data portion from a source location of a first physical device to a target location of a second physical device. A desired average delay time is determined in accordance with a plurality of values including a throttle value affecting a rate at which data is copied from the source location to the target location. The request is partitioned into subrequests. The data portion is partitioned into a subportions. Each of the subrequests copies one of the subportions. The subrequests are performed whereby a time delay is introduced between at least two of the plurality of subrequests and whereby an average time delay with respect to each pair of consecutively issued subrequests is the desired average time delay.
